Subject: Re: Best Way to Cut PCB

Harvey, you are correct - the PCB section that is cut off does not do well at all, unless it's pretty large - couple of inches maybe?

Most all my boards are at least 1" to 3" in width, and that tends to cut off pretty good, but cutting a thin slice will just curl.

If I had to do 15 or 20 boards I think I might opt for a table saw myself - being sure to use a very fine tooth carbide blade.

In the PCB cutoff thread last week there was a really nice looking tiny table saw using diamond blade that looked like it'd do the trick.... If I needed 20 boards I think I'd seriously consider looking at a commercial offering.
