Depending on how large you need, a shear isn't really terribly expensive. I don't know what that sort of thing might cost in Amersfoort, but on this side of the pond a shear capable of cutting boards perhaps 200 mm wide or so only costs a little over 100 euro. As you go wider, though, they do go up in cost pretty steeply. 72/73 de WB8RCR http://www.qsl.net/wb8rcr didileydadidah QRP-L #1446 Code Warriors #35 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wouter van Ooijen" Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2003 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [EE:] cutting PCBs > But I try to think economically: I have lots of PCBs that are like 15 x > 15 mm.
