I've got a few methods of cutting PCB Bandsaw - great but can be a little inaccurate if you use a smaller one. = Blades blunt quickly when cutting FR4 Scrollsaw - still in its box but I'll get round to using it at some point Tile cutter (electric) - fantastic as for =A320 I got something that goes = through a PCB like butter but makes a lot of dust. I've used it for cutting = over 100 tiles and 30-40 PCBs and the blade still looks pretty new. Guillotine - picked this up off Freecycle and its a really old solid metal = jobbie but makes a nice job of cutting PCB. Delaminates the edges slightly = but if you design this in then there isn't a problem Dremel - I've got a load of PCB router bits for this. Nice for curves and = reasonably fast but generates a lot of dust and no good for straight edges.
