Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Drill Bits

2011-05-13 by Tom Biery

I find that the Dremel and dremel drill press stand acessory works wonderful and 
is probably the best setup short of a cnc machine.  If you look at my youtube 
channel you will se a video that I recently posted a video showing very closeup 
drilling a PCB.  I was using a #79 carbide drill in the video, thats about as 
small as I go but ocasionally I use a #80,  Most general PCB drilling I use a 
#60 carbide drill.  Please chekout the video and subscribe for future updates, I 
will be posting a new video this weekend.  Good Luck...

For those interested in youtube videos of my Homebrewed Printed Circuit Board
fabrication, PIC chip experiments, High powered LED projects, Arduino
applications, QRP kit builds, and Electronics Tourism, Please take at look and
subscribe to my new improved youtube channel "Hamradio2008"
