The metal blades will dull quickly on fiberglass boards. The cutting
disk will work but tend to gum up.
You can do a lot of damage with a Dremel, the big problem being that
it's hand-held. This is one case where I might be tempted to use a
jeweler's frame saw and use as many blades (they're very cheap) as
needed to get the job done.
Got one of those, but no blades at the present time, I oughta do something
about that one of these days...
Alternatively, a small carbide bit in a table-mounted
router would do the
job in a jiffy.
I might get a router-type bit for the dremel, too.
Personally, I'd just find out if the IC was
available in PLCC.
The whole point was that I already have four of these chips sitting around.
If that weren't the case I wouldn't be tempted to explore an otherwise
obscure processor like that.
