Hi guys, today i just did my own PCB's for the first time, one friend of me had all the stuff in his workshop brand new and unused for a couple of years so i had to use it ;D, and it turned out to be a success ;D ;D ;D, the only hard part is the drilling bits, all broken :'(, damn these are expensive, they were 0.8mm and 1mm.
Something like this but a little longer on the bit:
I use a Dremel at full speed, but the axis feels kind of wiggly (talking about all the system with the dremel on...), but i believe it's the built quality made of plastic etc... but i think Livingnote is using that exact same system + a vaccum so.....
I drilled fast with a steady mouvement, worked fine for the 1mm for about 5 holes, after that it's just broke.
The 0.8mm was like after the 2nd one.
What are the bits you guys using for drillings, and possible to tell me more on what to do and should not do regarding this???
Thanks a lot for your inputs.
Not bad for a first shot , i went easy for the first time tough... 2 and a half mn in UV and about 6 to 7mn for the bath, kind of a lot from what i read, but maybe not enough temp??? Anyway the traces are clean so i believe it's ok and better go with visual check than timing....
