Charlene,
Material is a large factor in the depth of scoring, as
well as to the quality and ease of removal.
I've
seen from a .018" to a .031" remainder. The 031" would break, but not cleanly.
Made for
a
stronger panel, but the .018 was easier and the product looked much
better.
The
assembly also becomes a factor since some have the entire panel assembled,
requiring a
thicker V and some have the board scored so they may be
removed then assembled.
The
depth and angle aren't as important as what is left. This may be a value that
you use
regardless of the thickness.
As for
combination, consider only the hardness for the thickness
remaining.
Consider making a matrix of you
findings

Sorry
I can't be more specific, since it is application driven.
What depth, and angle do you spec on your panel drawings for scoring a
board with a .062 thickness?
Does it make a difference on the Board Material because we are using a
combination of FR4 and RF35 for a 4 layer board.
