Steve , Have you thought about having your supplier give you a deeper cut, allowing you to break your parts esier? We normally run most of our customers web thickness of .010 on FR4 material CEM is .020 to .030. there are a few variables to consider such as part size material thickness and type, auto insertion or manual insertion. I dont think you need a new system. Try talking to your supplier first.
