how thick pcb will it cut through? I have some stuff that is solid gold plated on one side but its exactly 1/8" thick, the layer of gold plating is 0.1-0.2mm thick, yes its actually thick enough to measure. i would mainly use it for lcd boards, and cell phone boards though

Swingline - Trimmers - Guillotine Trimmers - Swingline® ClassicCut® Pro Guillotine Trimmer, 15" Cut Length, 15 Sheet Capacity

i dont think i will need to remove the safety guard for cutting cell phone and lcd boards as they are so thin

This model looks like it will work good so im going to go ahead and get one. $110 on manufactures website, $66 at office depot including tax, $42 on ebay including shipping. =)

For $40 more i could get one with a laser to mark the cutting line but its really not necessary.
