| I have for many years used a Model 396 Type 1 with engraving cutter tools (106,107, etc) to cut tracks - or rather the separating grooves between electric tracks for electronic printed circuit boards when building various electronic projects. Copper tracks will probably be a little wider than normal, and you will benefit from the fact that most of the finished board will be copper surface, instead of nonconducting space between tracks which is normally the case. This is very useful when building prototypes, where corrections and changes requiring extra copper real estate may be made with ease, as there is sufficient space for drilling holes (also with the Dremel, of course) in the PCB for new components. Using a Dremel tool is the fastest way I have found for making small electronic circuit boards. For efficient cutting, the tool should be held at a low angle; preferably place the PCB on a wooden surface, about 1 to 2 inches high, to facilitate holding the tool at a suitable angle.
