I'll second that for a nice easy way of cutting PCB in quantity.

I don't use mine with water - too messy but it cuts through FR4 and other composite without breaking a sweat.

Not too accurate but as good as a cheapo bandsaw with a skinny blade at a lot less cost per cut.

 

I agree with Shax, I have been using my (Wickes) tile cutter for years now, and it still cuts cleanly and thats after its original use for the tiling jobs I bought it for!

I think it cost me £20 about 8 years ago.

I've got one like this, and couldn't be any happier with it. It's really amazing what that thing will cut.

I have seen that style too. Do you have any problem with the board trying to twist or scoot out from the blade, as the shearing action is at quite an angle compared to the guillotine cutters? John

 

I've not had any issues with twisting(left or right), at all. Just like scissors, it naturally wants to cut a very straight line. The left hand side of your work will surely want to kick up, however. That is why you should always make sure that the "hold down" is adjusted flush down on your material, before you begin your cut. In order to protect more delicate surfaces I added a piece of thin foam(peel off sticky on one side type) to the "business" surface of the holdown. I took a picture of it, but it didn't turn out real clear. Hopefully you can see what I am referring to.
