In Reply to: Optimum speed for drilling pc boards??? posted by grhughes on May 27, 2012 at 08:30:13:
I thought I would try and sandwich the 3x3 inch board against a piece of formica and a 3/4 inch thick piece of MDF, the formica contact cemented to the MDF. I thought about covering the 2 sides with tape but it leaves residue. I thought I would drill from the circuit copper side and not the ground plane-component side. I will spring center punch each hole dot on the circuit side first and drill all the holes with each respective size bit. Then turn the board over to the ground plane side against the formica and burr each hole with a larger countersink. The board is bare copper so I will try to flow copper all over it after I have mounted all the components. I wonder if I could use an oven or a heat sink gun to flow it. I found a friend with a bench top drill press with a variable speed rheostat so I'll use that before I buy one. Thanks for any advice. Ray
