PCB drilling: problem solved

hondgm · 2006-10-19T22:05:10+00:00

I solved my problem. I liked the idea of a Dremel and a drill pressstand, but didn't like the grumblings about the rigidity of the stand.I know some have claimed the older stands are better, but didn't wantto mess with it.So, I found another company that makes rotory tools and a nice sturdystand. Proxxon, which I know someone here has mentioned, makes a verynice rotary tool, and a very solid stand, although with a bit of "madein Taiwan" cheapness. But the stand is solid as far as drilling isconcerned.BTW the rotary tool doesn't seem cheap at all, and is made in DE and LU.

Uh, we _were_ talking about hobbyists here, weren't we? How workaholic are you? ;-)

What size tracks are those?

I can do 5 mil tracks at home, but I haven't tried anything like that. I normally use 10 mil.

0.2mm 7.8mil

I added some test lines to that board; my process seems to make the lines thicker and the spaces thinner. It can do 5 mil lines but wants

7 mil space. It depends on how long I etch it, and whether I use 1 or 0.5 oz, and whether I physically rub it or just agitate.
