Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Cutter selection and/or hacks

From: Benjamin Blumer <b3nzilla@...>

One hack is to score it with a utility knife. Go over both front and back
several times with a great deal of pressure. Then lay the score line over
the edge of a table and bend it. It's not nice, but it does work.

Although, for 15 bucks, you can buy some nice aviation snips that'll do the
job in a quarter of the time with a tiny fraction of the effort.

I have no shear. I have no vise. What can I use to cut PCB material? I'll
start with 6" X 12" X 0.062" SINGLE SIDED PC BOARD.
Is there a hack for cutting straight lines on this material
without buying a shear?
