Bottom line = Save your time and your trouble and keep the fingers on the board unless in the rare occasion that it will not effect the price of the board.
Just my 2 cents, or in this case 43 cents.
Thanks for posting the math. I’m not holding anything at the moment I was wanting to trim. ;)
As pointed out all over the forum, trimming fingers off is a bad idea in most cases. I only went so far here because the question comes up a lot. Are there minority cases where trimming makes sense. Sure. But ultimately you’re likely to cut fingers when you shouldn’t.
To more accurately fixate on my long above post... as I’ve pointed out elsewhere on the forum I tend to limit my trimming to very specific things. Western design boards, and IBM 300/600/700 series boards. All of which come close to a half pound worth of fingers on 3-5lb+ riser boards that will be telco with or without fingers. Here even mistakes are within a few percent of value.
Very old ISA cards, the full length type. Again card and fingers are both heavy.
I guess ultimately, again, it’s up to you the seller. But let me reiterate it’s rare to make more trimming.
I’m posting above this to leave BoardSort’s answer as the end to this particular discussion.
