Re: bit cleaning while drilling PCBs - drilling plexi

2004-06-14 by bsjoelund

Hi,
Keep in mind when drilling PLEXI, that you build up thermal stress 
into the material and can easily break thereof. If critical parts are 
machined thermal treatment in owen is requiered. Manufacturers of 
plexi can give advise how to do it, also *data* on drilling/milling.
