Homebrew PCBs

Steve,

I use a 4" diamond saw (QEP 60084A 4-Inch Portable Wet Saw). Home Depot current price $52.00.  The last time I used it I didn't even bother using water, but I did use a respirator to avoid the dust. It cuts through FR-4 like a hot knife through butter.

The supplied blade is a bit thick, but you can get a slicing blade for $8.00 (0.008") here,

I am very satisfied with the product. You can also cut tile with it  ...
