   Reminded me of the quite funny pair of MotoGP commentators,   
   talking about nurturing new talent. "I think I'd make a good   
   coach". "Yeah mate...you could take your teeth out and   
   install seats."   
      
   If I had a one-off board, I'd use a razor saw because it's   
   zero risk. Otherwise I'd score, clamp to the edge of the   
   table, and snap, assuming there's no copper. Buying a saw   
   for one board isn't worth it, but they are so good for   
   plastic, wood and soft metal that anyone prototyping   
   fabrications would soon wonder how they ever managed without   
   one.
