Make sure you have a local saw sharpening outfit handy first if this is
your only good blade. What I should have mentioned in my earlier message
is that once you start using a blade to cut FR4, that blade is great for
FR4 but nothing else until it is sharpened. I solve that problem by having
several blades: a couple for cutting PCB material, 3 or 4 for cutting wood,
a couple for cutting plastic (Lexan and acrylic sheet), etc. The blades
are marked with felt marker as to their purpose.
I am lucky in that I can walk to my local saw sharpening service - it is
just across the road from me. But I only go there maybe once a year -
maybe even less.
