Cut FR4 with a band saw?

2010-04-14 by Steve

There have been discussions from time to time on this reflector about 
techniques for cutting PCB material. I don't recall having seen mention 
of a band saw.

Anyone use a band saw to cut FR4 as thick as 1/16 inch? Does it work 
well? Or poorly? What kind of blade does it take? Other comments or advice?

I have occasionally considered buying a band saw for other applications 
and was just wondering if its use in cutting FR4 might lend some weight 
to that decision? Thinking about a table model.

Thanks.

Steve
