Hi Lee: I found a saber saw (aka Jig Saw) at Walmart for $9.95 that has a couple of threaded inserts. This allows mounting it under a bench top with just the blade sticking up. You need to allow for a 0.050 kerf between boards. Fine tooth metal cutting blades work best. But the Northern Tool Mini Shear & Brake looks like a much better way, but for > an order of magnitude more money.

Message: 54 Hi, Can anyone suggest a good way to cut fiberglass printed circuit board, I currently use the old score with a Stanley knife but its very slow and I am concerned that when I bend the pcb to break it off that the pcb is getting bent slightly forever. I have tried an electric tile cutter which looks like a saw blade without teeth which is coated with something hard like diamonds, it work ok but is slow and creates a lot of dust. regards Lee McLaren -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
