we have looked into a number of depaneling machines and can't justify the cost. what we are trying to do is to eliminate failures due to part stress when employees are breaking out the boards by hand. I heard about pneumatic scissors one day but to

I would shy away from a Dremel. They are great for a hobby, but produce too much spin off at the tip to be reliable. A micro-drill is the appropriate tool. The cheap way out would be tweezers scissors. That is if you can get under the trace.

Wow that's thin. We do lots of flex = similar thickness. We do most on a router but in a pinch we cut them out with a good pair of scissors.

For clipping off small boards and small quantities you can try Simonds. With no components and for longer straight cuts a shear would be more appropriate. How about the various de-panelling machines? The answer could be more specific if you would te

What we did was design or panels with routed out edges held on by tabs. This was very effective. All we use is a pair of pneumatic scissors to cut off the tabs. We are using from single-to 13 layer PCB's and we have had no problems with delamination

For us, it depends on product volume: * Low volume: Tailor's scissors sharpened for the job. * Mid volume: Custom die used in a press. * High volume: We don't do this, but we'd have buy a singulation machine, er something like that. [Search the SMTne

Dear Jacob, I have a company that makes a really cheap but great depanelizing machine and one to get rid of the tabs on a routed FR 4 board. I saw them at the assembly expo in Chicago. The cost is under 2,000 dollars and works well. I think it mig

Jacob, There are several companies I saw at a recent trade show that had "nibblers" that snap the tabs out. They are also called "board shockers" because they really shock the boards when they snap out the tabs. I did talk to a guy from a company
