Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Breaking a Trace

2010-04-16 by Stefan Trethan

A very sharp wood chisel gives more control than a knife, because the
blade has less flex.
You can even make a U shaped gauge to gauge out a sliver, or simply
make two cuts like DJ suggests.

A small cutoff disc in a proxxon or dremel rotary tool also works, but
care must be taken or you take the wrong thing out very easily (same
with all power tools isn't it?).
