  • Printed circuit board scrap edge removal tool
    Patent number: 6698638
    Abstract: A PCB scrap edge removal tool comprising scrap removal jaws formed of two matching opposing pieces of metal having cut-outs in a castellated fashion. The jaws have a gap between them for receiving a PCB work piece to be finished. Metal dowels for PCB positioning span the gap. A PCB is positioned in the gap and rocked back and forth to break off the scrap edge pieces. The cut-outs in the scrap removal jaws correspond to portions of the PCB edge that are not to be removed. These portions move freely in the cut-outs as the PCB is rocked back and forth.
