I agree with you Andrew - and I think a carbide saw for cutting PCB would be ok (carbide bits sure drill good), but I don't know of a small carbide blade. The only carbide blades I have are 8" and 10" for larger saws.
A carbide would cut "thin" aluminum ok, but darn I'd wish to be careful and wear protection - eye, hand, and arm for protection from small flying aluminum chips?
