Subject: plated-thru holes drill size

From: Chris Kleeschulte <laconia@...>
Date: 2011-04-04

I am going to trying using James Mitchell's plated-thru hole method this
week and I wondering about the via creation in Eagle. What size hole is good
to use for this procedure? I am drilling the hole using a Micro-mark running
at 6500 rpm, so I may not get a super duper clean hole, but I think that it
should still work since I am using the thinner 1/32" fr-4. What do you all
think about this?

On another note, I finally mastered the double-sided PCB creation process,
but now I am really really tired of hand soldering pins into vias. Front,
back, front, back, yuck.


thanks,
Chris
