Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Cutting PCBoard

From: Steve Greenfield <alienrelics@...>

I've used my tablesaw. I have a carbide toothed blade in it. Kinda
scary, though, as most boards are pretty small (the ones I make,
anyway) so I usually end up either scoring and snapping, cutting
with a dremel w/fiber blade, or using a hacksaw. None of which is
ideal, IMHO.
