Does anyone know of other vendors of Mass Lead Trimmers that are on the
market today?

We have a customer who is requiring a .030" lead protrusion after wave
soldering.  The assembly is placed in a plastic enclosure.

We are currently using a Applied Production Systems Lead Trimmer. 
Unfortunately, we are experiencing problems.  The blade does well on 
vertical leads but tends to only 'topple' leads that have been crimped
or bent prior to soldering.  This leaves shavings attached to the board.

Does anyone have suggestions of other available trimmers on the market 
or experienced a similar situation?
