Hi, Somewhat depends on pitches and required consistency. I have used manual for years and a skilled operator can do a very nice job. But squeegee speed, angles and pressures are important and a semi-automated machine can be a big help in getting consistently good prints. Setup, tear down and cleaning are also important. Simply manuals are nice here. Bob K. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David D.

I am looking for a Bench Top-ish solder paste stenciling equipment and figured I should ask the forum for suggestions. I am not necessarily looking for a full automation solution - semi- automated or manual is fine. Primary focus is a bench topish size for working with small quantities of investigation boards/projects.
