Any suggestions on cutting circuit boards.
Glass-epoxy "dulls" a bandsaw blade rather instantly, but a good 
"metal-cutting" BS blade will continue to cut glass-epoxy for a long time---just not wood, 
after about 1.5" of the PC stock!

BUT, a BS-cut on glass-epoxy is kinda like using a chain-saw to make fine 
parlor-furniture.  I cut with a BS, and then DISK-SAND the edges "perfect" and 
square.  If I have a "shape" to cut, I use a solid-carbide router- or two-flute 
mill-bit in a "Bridgeport" type mill.  But a small "router table" would do 
fine, if you know how to properly USE such!  VERY dangerous for the klutz, 
however!  So be very, very careful, and first KNOW what you are doing!
