Re: Dremel bits for cutting panelized PCB?

2004-04-02 by Phil

I use a shear.  Very clean and fast.  It makes a complete mess of 
phenolic but FR4 is very clean.  I dont use phenolic except in 
emergencies so it doesn't matter.

I've used a dremel and agree on the routing bit but that makes a 
nasty little mess.
