Same here. Buy it by the 2-pack at Staples. If the tape does not get used often we pull off about 5 inches and discard before we use it. The exposed tape between the cutter and the roll, and 1 rotation around the outside of the roll attracts dust and

i have seen that happen when the wrong process was utilized! your boards looked like they were v-scored and someone broke them apart, proper method would be to use a scoring separation machine.. pizza cutter. this would prevent this. its not a good i

Hello all, I am about to design a panel and there are two connectors on the board that seem to be very close to the edge of the board. I am worried that they might interfere with the cutter blade. Can you tell me how close do you think a part should

Hello, I am a Japanese engineer. I am sorry for my unskillful English. Have you ever encountered cracks in chip resistors or IC components due to board mechanical stress? Especially, I'm looking for a case in the PCBs Depaneling process(pizza cutte

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

Chrys you're fine. On scoring: * Be sure spec material remaining, not what is removed. * Be sure that the v-grooves are perpendicular to each other, not off set. * Typ spec for for .062 thick boards FR-4 0.018-0.024 MC-3 0.030-0.040 * HADCO recomm

We are leaving 12-18 thousands material when scoring. Several components are cracking during depanelization. The pizza cutter machines out there are either too expensive or too slow to solve our problem. I am looking for a magical solution. In case

Oh boy, does that bring back memories!!!!! You are most likely breaking components when the board is flexed during separation. Any components perpendicular to the score are candidates for mechanical stress. We overcame the problem by making our ow

Jason, Are you aware that this UIC machine is a Sanyo 60 series HSP. You can contact NSA(US agent of Sanyo) in Irving, TX for service info. I don't know if UIC is supporting the 60 series any longer. Their phone number is 972-831-9700. Hope this h
