    First I know it is far easier to just purchase them. I have been thinking about it.

    I just have a large supply (20 or so 8x12 sheets) of PCB sheets that I do not want to go to waste.

    Are there anyone out their that cuts their own? If so what do you use?

    I have heard shear, band saw and even use a wet (tile) saw, what is the best to use.

    Thanks

    I have heard of using a shear. I have a few 12"x12" sheets, but cutting makes a big mess so I buy them from Clover House or Fasttracks.

    I like to offer to anyone who cuts or shears their own. I will give them have the sheets to cut / shear the other half for me.

    When I was cutting them I set up my dremmel tool and mada a jig and fed them through the diamond wheel like a radial arm saw. I worked pretty good.
