PCB MACHINING SOLUTIONS
Standard drills for PCB manufacturing
A structured range of carbide drills for selecting the appropriate geometry from material, stack, diameter and hole-quality requirements.
Selection starts with the process
Application
Material, stack, geometry and the required result define the starting point.
Tool and machine
Diameter, spindle, collet and operating conditions must be assessed together.
Quality objective
Hole, edge, dimensional tolerance and tool life guide the final choice.
Information for a technical assessment
- PCB material and stack
- Diameter, depth and geometry
- Machine, spindle and collet
- Speed, feed and production volume
- Current defect or quality objective
