I have just received a prototype PCB that I need to cut accurately to

a band saw or something similar that I can use.

Help?

Score the board deeply on both sides with a sharp scriber, snap the
board along the scribe line and neaten up with a file. Clamp a steel
rule to the board as a guide when scoring and practice on a piece of
scrap board first.

The method is quick neat and accurate and requires no special skills,



Thanks Keith. Several people have suggested this method so I am going to
experiment on a piece of scrap and see how it goes.
