I have a depaneling question. One of our customers uses "mouse bites" for
their tab-routes. We have never depaneled these boards but they would like
us to start doing it.

They currently use a hydraulic press with dies to cut through the "mouse
bites".  Since it takes quite a bit of time to do this we were thinking that
a router like the Cencorp type might work.

My question is; do any of you that have used this type of router to depanel
boards think it would be accurate enough and easy enough to program to
follow the tab-route slot and remove the mouse bites? What would be the
upside/downside of this approach?

Thanks in advance, 

KennyB
