Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Cut FR4 with a band saw?

2010-04-14 by DJ Delorie

I've used bandsaw, scroll saw, tin snips, a razor, and even a reground 
table saw blade (for v-scoring).  The scroll saw does the best job 
quality-wise, but they all eat through blades like there's no tomorrow. 
  One of these days, I'm going to get some carbide or diamond scroll saw 
blades and see how those work.  The only advantage the bandsaw has is 
that the blade is so long the wear is spread more thinly.

Yeah, I should get a shear, but that only works if you want straight 
lines...
