Forgive me if this seems arcane, but we've become interested in the
different web routing widths that our assemblers are telling their
fabricators to use to panelize/depanelize our boards.  We've seen 0.125
inch, 0.093 inch, 0.062 inch, and 0.050 inch wide webs thus far.

1. Is there one IPC standard, or a combination of IPC standards, which
specifies preferred web routing widths?

2. How does an assembler determine a "sweet spot" for each preferred web
routing width whereby the individual boards will depanelize most easily?

3. Which preferred web routing width yields the lowest cost route?
