Make sure you have a local saw sharpening outfit handy first if this is 
your only good blade.  What I should have mentioned in my earlier message 
is that once you start using a blade to cut FR4, that blade is great for 
FR4 but nothing else until it is sharpened.  I solve that problem by having 
several blades: a couple for cutting PCB material, 3 or 4 for cutting wood, 
a couple for cutting plastic (Lexan and acrylic sheet), etc.  The blades 
are marked with felt marker as to their purpose.

I am lucky in that I can walk to my local saw sharpening service - it is 
just across the road from me.  But I only go there maybe once a year - 
maybe even less.
