Screaming_Rabbit Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 HiI never cut PCBs by myself. What's the "right" way for pertinax and epoxy?Can I use a high RPM circular saw like this one:http://www.selbst.de/fstart.php4?inhaltURL=/flexgrund.php4&links=http://www.selbst.de/8lexikon/heimwerker/lexikon.php4?id=900&rechts=/8lexikon/sucheheimwerker.php4What are you using?Greets, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well, because sawing gives a lot of dust I use a knife.(Stanley or somelike)It takes several strikes to cut, say it, halfway, and then you can break it, a little sandpaper to make the edges smooth.René Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Rabbit Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Well I have a vacuum cleaner attached to my saw.But before I try to cut them with the saw, I wanna be shure, that there is no risk that the epoxy boards break in small peaces and them sticking in my face :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arumblack Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I cut mine on a tile cutter....( a table saw sort of device with a diamond blade) but I don't know how bad that is for the tile cutter...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Rabbit Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 ThanksI cut mine on a tile cutter....A tile cutter is not a high RPM saw right? And it has much finer teeth (if even) than my blade.My plade is hardend steel. It's o.k. for aluminum but for epoxy :-/???I think I give it a try, while hiding my face behind a wall ;DGreets, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arumblack Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 That's right, low rpm's and the blade has no teeth, just some ridges, and diamond....I think also that tin snips worked ok too, but only on small pieces, and not nearly as neat.

doc Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hi,I always use a plate shears for cutting PCBs. This is a real good way, because there's no dust at all !greetsDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggle Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Guillatine for cutting sheet materials works perfectly and no dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
