Those diamond tile cutting blades are relatively smooth compared to a 
toothed blade so if your finger happens to brush passed, you'll just 
loose a layer of skin. One possibility I didn't think about is a finger 
jammed where the blade travels down through the table top opening !

I agree. Sheet metal guillotines are expensive. They also stress the 
PCB, and leave rough edge. I wanted something cheap, that cuts fairly 
accurate but also very quick and no fuss like a guillotine. I'd think a 
CNC machine would be too time consuming to use for doing just a few cuts.
