Homebrew PCBs

I checked the Dremel Catalogue, they have a router table but i do not see a table for a saw.  There is a little saw guide, but I don't think it would be of any value in cutting small items.

Cheers.

  Harvey,
  Thanks for your input.

  Some of the more elaborate solutions (table saw, band saw, etc.) seem like a bit "over-kill" for me, if I am only making a PCB once in awhile.

  I believe Ian suggested using a 545 Diamond Cutting bit with a Dremel tool.

  If I needed a large quantity, I would agree with you, i.e. outsource it. Of course, that leads to another question, who do you order them from? ...but, I think that is another thread of discussion.

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.
