Hi, I tried to use this wet table saw, with the thin diamond blade that
was discussed several times on this list, and the results are extremely
disappointing.
If I use a thin PCB, I think 1/32", I can use a paper cutter, it leaves
one corner a bit bent but it's fine. With thicker, double copper double
layer PCBs, this won't work. That is why I tried withe the tile saw but
everytime it takes a long time to setup everything and the cut is never
straight. Last time I even bent the blade. I think I won't try this
method again.
I guess I'll have to find space for a real shear... any advice? I do not
think I will need a big one.
bye
