Not quite what the title implies...

So this is very neat. There's a whole industry that has developed in China where they take old motherboards, chop them up like in the video above, desolder the chips, then make brand new motherboards with the salvaged parts. A lot of time they'll do this to decommissioned high end server gear that's a few generations old. I've bought a number of these boards. It's an interesting option if you want to build a computer on the cheap.

The laser is not cutting, as I mistakenly assumed reading the title, it just shows the operator where the blade is under the part to be cut.

It is a laser cutting guide. Not a laser cutting guide. If it was a laser cutting guide, would it be a guide used to cut lasers, or a thing that guides lasers to cut something else?

A perfect example of how ineffective words can be for communication.

Perhaps the tittle might have been less ambiguous if it had been worded laser guide for cutting PCBs
Deleted the superfluous "boards" thanks Marv

No, it's a demonstration of how failure to proofread combined with poor writing skills can lead to confusion. The same words, reordered, with the addition of a preposition make the subject clear.

Ah yes, you have made my point. I said words are so easily miss understood. Being older, pcb was in my vocabulary before I had much interaction with circuit boards. When my eyes or ears receive pcbs , my brain tells my mind that we are discussing an electrical transformer, or old fluorescent light ballast

Here again words can be easily miss understood. Especially when abbreviations and acronyms are used. PCBs, as in printed circuit boards or, PCBs as in polychlorinated-biphenyls.

I was a member of the AMA back in the 70's but I never went to medical school. AMA = American Motorcycle Association or AMA= American Medical Association.

Just saying that I believe a major problem in the world today is unclear communication.
