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

band saw or something similar that I can use.


Try a sheet metal shop or an HVAC shop that does custom ductwork. You
want to use a sheet metal brake to cut the boards, not a saw.

FR4 will wreck saw blades in very short order.

That I do most sincerely believe. I had some smaller PCBs made ( about 4
inches square) and had to cut them out too. I consumed one Junior
hacksaw blade every two cut sides.
