While drilling Many small holes in PCBS--or any plastic or plexiglass for that matter--it seems that the bit will become coated with plastics. Either it just accumulates, or it can melt on the bit no matter what the right speed is. So, how can this be handled? Is there something which can be done to have the bit come up clean and not have the accumulation or coating interfere with the drilling? I've thought of eleborate cooling mechanisms combined ith vacuuums to both cool the bit as it eats its way through the day, and also suck the debris immediately away. Sounds convoluted. Thanks Charles
