Technetters, here is a real question, to replace the spurious one I just posted by mistake.
May I have some comments on measurement of hole sizes in printed circuit boards? For many years, I have been using plug/pin gauges to check hole sizes. I recently noticed that the IPC test method 2.2.7 called for use of a microscope. My opinion is that the plug gauges are fine, and, if anything, better than a microscope, even a good 20X device. A small measurement quality study we did on some 40-100 x microscopes a while back suggested the error in using them is greater than the tolerance of a plug gage. But I don't want to get in trouble for using a non-recognized test method. Thanks for any comments.
