A company I worked for had boards used in two different products. The boards were stuffed, tested, calibrated, and stocked. One product supported the board by soldering to header pins. The other product used connectors on the pins and supported the board by sliding it in grooves in an aluminum extrustion. The extrusion required 0.1" unpopulated edges to slide in the grooves, but those edges made the board too big for the soldered product. So we had to saw the edges off of about half the boards. I tried clamping the boards in ESD foam but still got electrical problems. The wet diamond saw worked fine, though a bit messy.
