You folks at NG are one of the big kids on the block. However, we all are
going through this pain with some suffering less than more or less or whatever.

I understand your not wanting to invest in automated and programmable
routing equipment and software. However, it is the best thing going when it
comes to minimal damage as not chatter, shock, or other deleterious causes.

Next comes V scoring. I hate this stuff but in a well managed operation,
with sharp pizza cutter blades, it does the job. Nibbling is out of the
question.

You really have to ask yourself the question what damage may be effected by
what cause and go from there. If you have high layer count, high rel MLB's,
you do the best you can. If you can't afford component solder joint or
component damage of any kine, you do the best thing.

What's your need? High yields and high reliability, I suspect.
