Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] cutting boards / milling

From: "Stefan Trethan" <stefan_trethan@...>

hi,


Does anyone use those milling bits to cut out boards? The ones with the
diamond pattern all over the business end which look otherwise just like
PCB drills.

If this works well then i can wait until i have my CNC and use the
sheetmetal shears until then, otherwise i must make a shaft for that
carbide saw somehow. Pretty hard to do without lathe and the last attempt
was a bit too much out of round.

I'm worried about the huge amount of material that is milled away,
wouldn't that dull the bit quickly?
