Jim, How are you? ! try pcb dremel with circular cutter . Pre mark? with marker pen. You can make sharp edge scrapping using ruler support. ?later pass the circular cutter thro the path created by sharp edge. ? Of course , easier said than done. regards sarma ?vu3zmv

I used a coping saw to do the first one but needless to say,? the
cutout did not stay straight and with filing I ended up with part
of the cutout too big.? I tried just using a razor knife and
cutting the lines but could not get the board to break on those
lines.
I have in the past been told to use a Dremel tool but I have not
found a bit for the Dremel and have not seen the little 1"
diameter saw blades for a while,? not that I would trust one to go
straight for me anyway.
There has to be a reliable and neat way to make these cuts.? Does
anyone know how to do this?
Thank you.
