Previous postings indicated the GBC H535 Laminator is satisfactory for
.062 inch material, but the price is in the hundreds of dollars.
Anyone know of a less expensive laminator that will work with 0.062 inch
circuit board?

I think if you use a carrier it might not work. The total clearance seems to be .061". The 061 material is so stiff and the board seems to drop slightly going in and raises coming out creating the possible problem. I am looking into increasing the slot width on one or both sides to eliminate this possible problem. Ed
