Dan, I agree dicing saws are the best thing ever. You have stated the disadvantages not withstanding the face they are very kind to both die and boards. We use them all the time to extract test coupons from detached quality conformance test circuitry once punched out with whatever crude method. Says work well but provide the same problems, as room to manuver, as do pizza cutters and routers.
