I think yo right Steve, one of the black arts,
the combination of drill tempers/angles/coats etc. with all of the board
factors will nullify my desires for digital understanding . I know just
nitride coats will lengthen the life up to 10x,
so my only chance would be to find out from fab fellows HOW do they
determine the changeovers .
Must be those precious little black notebooks riding back home in hip pocket
when the shift ends.
thanks for the book tip

could you give me indication of "standard" No. of cycles on small via holes
drill sizes, on carbide and steel bits please, and would there be a

utilization habits between say US and SEA/CHINA/SOB regions ?

Hi ya' Paul!
I'm not a fab guy, but I've picked-up a little knowledge about fabs since
I've been out here in Oklahoma...we've experienced some fab problems that
got
me looking into the whys of some of the problems that we'e had. A lot of my
references come from the "Printed Circuits Handbook" by Clyde F. Coombs Jr.
(A GREAT reference book!)
There's a whole chapter (about 30 pages) on nothing but drilling. From what
I
read, it's kinda' difficult to make a general statement about how many hits
a
drill bit can take before it doesn't give you good hole quality, there's so
many variables that will affect drill life, such as the design of the bit
itself (point angles and flute designs), what kind of drill entry and
back-up
materials are being used, the laminate make-up itself, harder and thicker
copper will shorten the life of the drill as will a higher glass to resin
ratio laminate. Feeds and speeds if wrong, can also cause hole quality
problems as well.
That being said, there is however, a statement in the chapter when talking
about qualifying entry and back-up materials; "The number of hits varies
depending on the abrasive characteristics of the laminate and the wear
characteristics of the drill's carbide. Normally, the number of hits to show
significant wear beyond normal usage is 1500 to 2000 for #80 (.0135") drill
bits and 2500 to 3000 for #76 (.020") drill bits."
So I would guess it would be at or below the lower numbers above (but only
for those drill diameters).
But like what was stated earlier, it really depends on a lot of other
variables...did I confuse you enough? I confused myself....hehehe.
