Drilling through Assemblies
Barry,
If this were a small
quantity of boards, I'd probably use a regular high
speed drill and throw the
drill bit away when I'm done as the board material
is abrasive and will
ultimately dull the bit.
For large quantities of boards a carbide bit is
preferred. It lasts much
longer and can withstand a larger range of bit
speeds.
As for a drill press, use what fits the board and bit size and is
clean
(free of grease and oil). I've used large floor mounted drill
presses and
small "Unimat" style drill presses. Sometimes it's simply a
matter of what
do you have that will work. The Yankee in me will keep
from buying
unnecessary equipment if I have something that works for the
short run.

Drilling through Assemblies
Good day to all.
We have
accepted an order of PCB's to assemble for a customer. this customer
has
requested that we make some modifications to the boards that they
are
providing. the want for us to Drill several holes in the board to
insert
some through hole components into.
my question is this. is
there any special type dill press that we should
use, or any special type of
drill bit. what speed should the drill run at
and any other special
precautions that I should be aware of.
