Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] cutting homebrew pcbs and source of cheap blanks?

2008-10-16 by DSNman@comcast.net

Hello all,

If you have a table saw and a plywood blade that works good. I use some thin scrap plywood under the board and cut that at the same time. Any scrap wood would work to support board while cutting.
