You can get a router with a saw blade to handle v-score, but if you plan on doing automated depanel/routing I would probably update my panels to mouse-bites and go with a standard bit based router.

Fancort sells a router that will singulate the boards out of the panel, and smooth the edges at the same time. I had one of these at a previous job and it worked well enough. Programming is tedious (it is done at the machine by "learning" point to

We have a Cencorp TR1000 Router that has been recently having problems. Frequently it will freeze up. This usually happens after running it for awhile. Sometimes the machine and computer both freeze up. When this occurs we have to completely shu

Pete: What�s a "free issue PCB panel"? Is that like "consigned material" here in the states? In response to your question, several possible approaches (in no particular order): 1 Router approach: 1a Wood working router * Go over to Sears and buy a

Tabs are generally faster to cut through vs a v-scored board. Cutting the V-scored boards with a saw is an option but it is not faster...it just decreases the potential damage that can happen when using a pizza cutter. Preferred method would be to us

Thoughts are: * Most board fabs have routers that can do this work. Can yours rework these boards? * Scrap the boards and start anew. Someone made a mistake. Cut your losses. * As a wild and crazy guy alternative, buy a router with a 45* bit from

We don't use fussy things like that to remove mouse-bite tabs when they are not designed to be removed. Just cut away the majority of the waste using sheet metal shears. Then burr the remainder and the rough parts with a Sears wood router [bought a

Thanks Capse. Hi Rick, We have Asys and Cencorp inline routers, both are very good. Our models are ADS01F, Cencorp 1000BR & 1300BR. One thing to remember is that if you have tight finished tolerances make sure you get the fiducial alignment option

Well...I think we just about beat this one to death, but I'll go ahead and add a couple more points to "pro-score" camp...WITH the caveat that it HAS to be done right! Yes, I will say that I've had to deal with the wrong spec'd or crappy scor
