Homebrew PCBs

I have the equivalent bench shear from Gizzly Tool...but in the 8" size (Grizzly didn't seem to carry the 12" anymore).  Looks almost identical to the enco with a somewhat different design for the hold down.  

If it is the same quality as the Grizzly, it is a great tool.  I use it to shear everything from 1/8 plate down through 0.01" brass
shim stock.  The blades are hard and easily removable for resharpening which should be a snap.  It should cut PCB like butter though I hate to dull the blade cutting glass fiber.  For cutting PCBs are other plastics I use a Freud Diablo non-ferrous cutting 10" blade on a table saw (carbide, 80 tooth as I recall) it has a very interesting tooth profile and a low, if not negative "hook".  Cuts plastic and aluminum plate like butter...virtually no burrs.
