Video of Board Sorting and Depopulating with Air Chisel

[Snowman18]

Self explanatory.

Dust from broken chips and surface mounts stays on the sheet metal, from where it can be brushed off into container.

Having one hand freed up I cup this over the cutting end of the chisel when cutting a row of pins free, I also sharpen the chisel with the same profile found on a wood chisel using the ground side towards to face of the board.



I use the pneumatic air hammer with a short stroke with the air pressure backed off to 40 psi.
