Re: Best Way to Cut PCB

My vote is for a metal-cutting bandsaw and fine-tooth metal-cutting blade -- about $160 from Harbor Freight (on sale or with 20% coupon). Yes, that's a lot to pay just to cut PCB, but if you have any need to cut metal on any sort of regular basis, this will work for both tasks.

Just standard blades will wear fast cutting FR4.

What would be better than a band saw is a table saw or bench model table saw with a Dry/Wet Diamond Blade, set up good dust collection with a fine filter and also protect the motor air intake with a filter to keep from it sucking in the fine dust.
