Hi Phil ( & the rest of you folks) If you could help me back in return : After ages doing all the separations possible ; I found : The V groves unreliable in depth ; good enough for less complex work Also ; the breaking of more complex boards is stressful ; we've had some examples here of pads too close to pizza blades ; and the "designer" shapes out of equation anyhow . So we shear tabs now with a single hook blade ; struggling with time The volume folks of depaneling odd shapes ( L ) ; would you use a grid plates with shear ( supports & blades ) configuration reflecting the tab positions ; or what is the single action tool ? ; that is for routed panel with tabs . Thanks a lot Paul Klasek http://www.resmed.com > ---------- > From: [log in to unmask][SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Wednesday, 2 December 1998 0:37 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [TN] Router survey > > Hi again, Technetters - > The router survey is going well - thanks to those who have responded > and are > responded.
