Thin boards I always cut with tin snips. At my last job we had a 48"
sheet metal sheer so I used to use that sometimes. I'm pretty sure
there is one of those home depot 4" wet tile saws in my mom's garage
from a bathroom remodel we did about 12 years ago so I'll have to go
over there and dig it out and try cutting PCB's with it. For cutting
tiles I liked it A LOT more than the score and snap variety.
As for the rasp that seems like a good idea. I used to have to mill
slots in circuit boards every once in a while to get connectors to
fit. I just held the shop-vac up to it while cutting and there was
almost no dust in the air.
