I am looking for a low-cost tool to uniformly cut a 44mm row of in-line pins to
an adjustable length. I don't have the budget for a fancy automatic DIP lead
trimmer, I just need something that can be used to quickly trim 10-20 custom
LCDs.
Our current solution is to use a piece of wood of the appropriate thickness as a
guide to cut the pins with a common flush cutter. Results are OK, but slow.
Can anyone suggest a solution under $500? I can imagine some kind of thin
elongated hand shear/cutter with an adjustable fence. In my imagination, such a
tool would retail for around $200. I have been unsuccessful in finding such a
device from any of the usual tool vendors, nor has google/froogle found
anything. If it matters, the two rows of pins are 30mm apart.
