I have read this post with great interest. I'm new to the PCB layout and design. For those of you who are drilling your own boards. Where do I find a .08 bit in the USA. What size of bit or bits do I need? Where can I get them? I believe .08 is the correct bit size for most leads.Thanks
0.08? Sounds very wrong in mm or in - perhaps you mean 0.8mm?
0.035" or 0.9mm is about right for a range of leads, thin leads and vias can be thinner than this. eBay has quite a lot
of carbide PCB drills available, but some are ex-industry used drills from the look of things. For fibre glass carbide bits
are the best.
