Joseph,

I'm not a fan of break apart or scoring.  I sure don't like scoring =
because the edges of the boards are rough and can cut your skin.  The =
boards look and feel unfinished.  We just got a batch in from a new =
vendor that were scored and cut and we sent them back for milling.

I guess my take on this is that I'd rather pay the board shop the labor =
to cut the boards as I need them than pay my labor to break them apart.  =
In the old days of single sided phenolic boards this was the thing to do =
but with hard glass epoxy boards I don't think it yields a quality =
product.  I'm for milled edges.
