Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Best Way to Cut PCB

Before you build your mini table saw, cut a few pieces by hand with the dremel..  I find that unless I'm running the Dremel tool at near top speed, it lacks on the power supply..  I don't think you would have enough power to do much cutting.

Also doesn't Dremel have a little table saw attachment.?  I think they do.

Cheers.

  Okay this is my first post. After trying several different methods with undesirable results, I finally tried something I read about on someone elses post elsewhere. For those of you who have a table saw, try using a metal cutting abrasive blade. After cutting pcb, use fine file to remove excess debris. This method worked well for me with satisfactory results. However I am thinking of creating a miniature table saw that uses a dremel rotary tool with a 545 Diamond Cutting Wheel. I believe this would be the perfect solution, but I have not tried it yet.
