I've been using my cheap paper cutter for about 25 years and have been cutting
many hundreds of 1/16th boards. It will still cut a single sheet of paper with
precision. I think it is a Premier brand cutter. Any office store like Office
Max or Staples should have something like it. I cut the regular 12X12
sensitized boards purchased from Kepro. Just keep the sheet of thick spacer
paper on the bottom so as not to damage the resist. Use a little pressure to
the inside when pushing the lever down, and walk the 12 inch board into the
cutter (since its only a 8 inch cutting blade). If you search the PIC archives
back about 6 months ago, we went through this discussion in detail.
