Why do they say to specify the depth of the score, rather than the thickness of the web? How does the scoring equipment work? Is it two blades that you can set the separation distance? Or is it one blade, that you have to run the board through twic

Hello Aldo Can't help you with the virtues of a specific machine but I would suggest that you search this net's industry directory for a number of of other possibilities. Also try Microscan in Washington State. 360/331-8212 John Thorup

IPC spec is V-score shall not be more than 1/2 board thickness. They should be V scoring 1/4 off top and 1/4 off bottom equally.
