Subject: Re: Cut FR4 with a band saw?

I've used a scroll saw with wood blades, but boy was it hard on blades and hard to hold straight line. I finally got a paper cutter and it works pretty good up to about .050", but 1/16" is harder, but does work. For .032" to .045" and cutting straight lines, hard to imagine anything better.

Not sure if I had got the larger size would have been any better for the 1/16" or not.

That is the one I got - I think I paid $12 or so - must have been on sale? The larger one is now $25.

Sorta wish I had got it.
