John said:Those are scribes. A scoring knife has a slight hook and is sharpened
on the handle side of that hook, so it peels a thread of material off
when pulled.
Is scoring the copper clad really going to achieve a clean break? Seems to me
you'd have to at least score through the copper into the fiberglass. Even then,
would it necessarily break clean? Most boards AFAIK, are multi-layer, weaved
construction. Very strong. ISTR FR4 "splintering" when broken, but that was
without being scored.
For that matter, what about using a box & pan brake?
