Homebrew PCBs

Alan,
Now that you mention it, I have a saw table I haven't used in years
that mounts a regular 7 - 7/14-in circular saw.  The carbide blades
for those saws are pretty thick, since their application is not
usually fine finish work, but I haven't investigated diamond blades. 
The diamond-edge tile saws are made to cut ceramic material, so I
figure they'll do pretty well on fiberglass-epoxy.

The reground router bits I use are carbide, and they have no problem
at all with the PC boards.  In the meantime, I quickly dulled two
regular Dremel "hobby" bits drilling the stuff.  The downside to the
box of 40 reground bit deals is that there are only 4 or five sizes
that I'd ever use, at least for PC boards.  Still, they're very
economical when on sale.
