Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Best Way to Cut PCB

2010-05-09 by Harvey McRae

I tried my paper cutter, but taking off a piece that you want to use, is hopeless.  The piece to the inside of the blade is cut quite smooth, but the cutoff piece just splinters to bits..

That's why I reverted bask to my Table saw.

  I use a HF paper cutter - this is the one I use:

  I move the PCB out to mid ways and it cuts pretty good up to .062", but the .032" is better. I wish I had got this one - it's larger and - I think it would have cut the .062" with less pressure:

  This cuts about as well as anything going - MUCH less hassle than saws and such like. The shear listed before would be my choice, BUT for nearly $400 vs $13...... Hard choice.... well, maybe not.
