Experiments on the effects of varying cutting depth by two thousands of an inch (2 mils or 0.002").
#1 cutting depth at 0.007"
#2 cutting depth at 0.005"
solving for cutting width when cutting depth is given...
Conclusion: Solvable problems encountered with Jedec shrinked outline soic chips. Axis step accuracy provides viable solution and best quality isolation even for demanding soic pin pitch.
Well worth every drop of sweat and blood.
