I bought a 30" shear / bender /roller from Harbor Freight, I was about
$300, but cuts any PCB material you come up with, and not all the dust, I
probably had $250  in band saw and dust collecting system, and still went
through blades like crazy cutting the fiberglass board material, shear
works much better if you can afford it,   for straight cuts,
