Actually the magetized cutter got moved to the R&D "facility" (aka home workshop) where I agree that a magnetized cutter is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it *does* get annoying when I am in production mode and have to stop every few leads and wipe the tool off... I'd rather them drop on the table below the cutter (I use cutters with cut-lead retention so they stick in the tool until the cutting pressure is released instead of flying across the room upon cutting). -forrest -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
