Bandsaw a Large Breadboard into a “DIY Mini Breadboard”

Honestly I can’t say I ever considered this before – at least not from a full-size breadboard. I typically save my breadboards that have ‘exploded’ or burnt areas on them for demo but this is equally a good re-use of a defective breadboard if you don’t do a lot of workshops or demos.

You can make your own mini-breadboards by cutting up a larger one.

Full Flickr set is here, and read more here.

FWIW we sell a full suite of breadboards in various sizes including a 2×8 point ‘board I’d be a little nervous about bandsawing down to size!

  1. While a bandsaw will be a lot faster, a hacksaw should work just as well. A simple blade-holder version is a good thing to have in your maker toolbox for many reasons. The idea of getting more life out of a breadboard with some bad connectors by chopping it up is great though.
