Those pizza cutters just have a tough time with edges other than straight, don't they? [HEY, they don't cut it!!! Haaaa!!!!] Consider either routing or singulation as an alternative. Look here: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=

Listen. Reworking 0201 is too expensive. Here�s watt yado � * Cut the lil� suka between the pads on the board using side cutters. * Flick each piece from its pad, after melting the solder with a standard soldering iron. * Solder the terminations

You should check your back stroke of the cutter. The backstroke is probably too long which cause a mechanical jam when you fire the cut and clinch. The anvil goes up first and then come the cut and clinch at this point the jam should appear. There is
