PCB Scribing Tool

Scratch-etched PCB method

Recently I have been working on a purely mechanical method for cutting traces into copper clad PCB material. It involves a jig for holding a sharp stylus in precise alignment while it is moved across the PCB material and uses the ICs themselves as a guide for scribing their surface mount pads.

Equipment and procedural issues are still being worked out, but to-date the process looks promising.
