Subject: Re: Cut FR4 with a band saw?

Those are nice bandsaws - but sure seem a bit of "overkill" for tiny little PCB - well, my boards anyway are always less than a 4"X6" size. I use the HF paper cutter - cheap, and does a good job on anything up to .062".

This is the one I have:

it was on sale, but thinking about getting this larger one:

$20USD vs $25USD isn't much difference. When I purchased my paper cutter at HF I think there was over $10 difference.
