I have a trace about 0.060' wide and I need to place a chip resister on it. * What is the best tool to use to cut the trace without slipping and scratching other traces or masking around it? I have used X-Acto #11,#16,#24 blades without success.

Dunno. Visioning markets beyond our factory walls may be a bit far afield for some of us. Consider contacting a market research firm. For instance Keith Robinson [Frost & Sullivan krobinson@frost.com 210-247-2402] wrote an article on the electron

I've never had an E4 quoted (obligatory disclaimer), but I would expect them to be somewhere in the $90k-$110k range based on what they were quoting for E5's, plus whatever options you want. From what little I know about MPM's and DEK's, the EKRA's
