Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] laminate flooring cutter for PCBs





Just spotted a laminate flooring cutter in a local discount store ad.

This should work for PCBs, it's the same principle as a sheetmetal
nibbler, just on a large scale.

Since it cuts out a narrow strip, individual boards would have to be
separated by a gap, but it should not tend to run to one side like
other shears since everything is symmetrical.

30eur is a bit much just to try it, but I'm sure that type of cutter
is available elsewhere and maybe someone wants to try it...
