Homebrew PCBs

I have had great success with a small 4" table saw with a carbide blade.  it
also came with a lapidary diamond blade, which disintegrated within a few
inches of cutting (it was run dry, just as a test, as the table saw isn't
set up for wet)

the carbide toothed blade is a bit loud, and it does of course leave a
relatively wide kerf compared to the small boards I am usually cutting, but
it cuts the PCB like butter and hasn't shown any signs of dulling after a
handful of boards.
