Developing a Cutting Tool with Mild Steel for Printed Circuit Board

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a cutter using mild steel for the printed circuit
board. The board contains cuprum as a trace to connect the electricity current to electronic
component like resistors and capacitors. The printed circuit board was widely used in electronic
and electric components. The normal way to cut the printed circuit board is using hand due to the
sensitive of it. By developing the cutter, it is easy to cut the printed circuit board with more
efficient without damaging the board. The performance of the cutter that fabricates using mild
steel is only average due to its hardness. It becomes dull very fast.
