I have a design that lends itself to being V-Grooved but I seem to recall
either in a Forum discussion of a personal discussion that this could be
dangerous for multilayer bd.. The reason would be that it would be possible
to fracture an internal layer with the V-Groove panel style. When I think
about the alternative which is to rout the board it seems to me that the
same danger is present when you break the boards away from the tabs present
on the panel. Does anyone else have a feel for this or have experienced any
of the things I has discussed.
