In Reply to: Optimum speed for drilling pc boards??? posted by grhughes on May 27, 2012 at 08:30:13:
Drilling a .1250 Dia hole in a fiberglass PC board using a carbide drill I would suggest a fairly slow RPM because the fiberglass may want to melt.
Start at 750RMP and work up if needed. It could be a very high speed (RPM) could work best depending on the board I've never drilled a PC board but I know you should be good going slow.
I'll give you some safety tips because I don't know if you have ever used a drill press or drilled anything other than wood.
Don't wear gloves.
Wear safety glasses.
Clamp the workpiece or make a stop to prevent it from spinning. Do not hold it with your hand.
I don't know about hobby drill presses on the market been using big toys the past 35 years. Good luck.
