Homebrew PCBs

Stefan,

You don't understand like I couldn't understand until a salesman 
showed me how the rollers work in a cutting funtion. It is amazing! 
Check post 3510 for numbers at www.harborfreight.com or search there 
for metal shears. Metal shears (they call them shears, but they look 
nothing like that) and cost $90. This is enough for cutting and hten 
you have an optional fence guide kit for $30. I am telling you that 
if not for PCB cutting get it as an investment tool because never 
will you be able to cut such hard material as PCB with such ease! All 
tehnks go to the author of post #3510. And that hole punch is just 
sweet. I can have corner holes in no time.

Mike
