Cutting FR-4 Laminate

2002-12-10 by twb8899 <twb8899@yahoo.com>

Jan and the group,

When cutting FR-4 laminate you should consider using a diamond blade 
bandsaw like the ones for stained glass cutting. They work great. 
Harbor Freight was selling a small (about 9") diamond band saw for 
around $150. This was about two months ago and I don't know if they 
still carry them. I have also used a diamond blade in a circular saw 
to cut big sheets down to size. A carbide blade works good for this 
as well. It seems like I saw diamond jig saw blades selling somewhere 
and that would work good also.
