Free smd practice pcb's

[Rochey]

Folks,

I have a bunch of pcb's that the fab forgot to v-score, giving me 4 circuits on a pcb that I cant split after production.

if any of you would lie some practice soldering surface mount, let me know. Cover my postage and we'll be cool.

I'll give it a week. Then they get flung.

Cheers

I'd be interested to sit down and really see what it's like to do SMT work.

Should we all be sending PM's??

Thanks,
Michael

PM's was a bad idea. Please show interest here, I'll email you directly with details.

Cheers

I score my PCBs with my CNC mill and an encraving bit.
I clamp a piece of scrap MDF to the CNC table, with a wooden ruler/edge to rest the PCBs against.
I just hold the PCB down,  and move the mill in one direction (X or Y) manually with the up/down keys of the keyboard.
I score both sides, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the board deep,  for a thinner line and a cleaner look.
Afer breaking them apart, I slide the sides of the boards once or twice over a piece of medium grid sandpaper that I have glued (PVA) to a piece of MDF.
Quick and easy.
Leo..

It's not worth the time to score them with a utility knife and separate?

These were destined to be pre manufactured modules. I can't have crappy edges etc
