I have had an idea for another tool to help us geekhackers build boards. I have an idea for a tool that would be able to bend both diode legs at a 90° angle and at the proper width. I realize that different boards have different distances between diode pads but this shouldn’t be a problem. It will also be able to do 10” with of diodes that are on a roll at the same time as well. This distance is of course subject to change. These will be all carbon steel with no paint or powder coat because I feel that any sort of applied surface finish would throw off the tolerances and I don’t feel like trying to account for paint thickness. If this works they could be milled from stainless or possibly carbon steel and then apply a blued steel finish. I don’t want to do aluminum as I feel the surface hardness isn’t up to snuff for the this task.
The milling would also be done by myself as well to keep the actual cost down.
If someone would be willing to get me some numbers for center to center on diode pads for some of the more commonly modded boards that would be great if this takes off. For the time being I am going to build a prototype that will be set to the distance for in switch diodes as that will be the distance for my single switch pcbs.
So at this point how much interest would there be in this.
