Mentioned this in the 'Bar Sport forum' Banggood Sitemap - Wholesale Sitemap - China wholesale China wholesale Sitemap, dropshIP wholesale from China, Professional Chinese wholesaler for general merchandise on wholesale price. This makes a great addition to your work bench. There are several versions available on eBay. This version is made up of 2 silicone mats. There are storage cells for items, I added some magnetic bottoms on a few of the larger cells. The smaller cells are good for SMD devices. [1.jpg] [2.jpg] [30.jpg] [4.jpg] .

You may find these magnifiers handy ~$70 Banggood Sitemap - Wholesale Sitemap - China wholesale China wholesale Sitemap, dropshIP wholesale from China, Professional Chinese wholesaler for general merchandise on wholesale price. This version comes with an aluminum stand. Could be use while soldering, but suggest you use a stereo microscope. [90.jpg] [A.jpg] [B.jpg] .

A fume extractor, in this case one that just sucks/blows the fumes from the area where you are soldering. [7.jpg] [8.jpg] .

This is especially true if the are no mounting holes in the PCB. Below shows one way to attach an Arduino Pro Mini to the top of a case. Note: no holes are made in the project case. If the Pro Mini fails, just throw the assembly away with the Pro mini. [1.png] [2.png] .

Any good DIYr/hobbyist should have a good set of carbide rotary cutting burrs. These are used with an adjustable speed tool like a Dremel. Burr speed ‘must’ be matched to the material you are working with ex: plastics slow, aluminum faster. Examples, you may want to: enlarge a hole a little bit to the left of where it is create a slot to mount a switch, motor, rectangular LED etc. bevel one side of the hole create a key way For safety reasons, ‘never’ drill a starting hole with the burr itself. Just as important, never use a burr that has a larger diameter than the starting hole. Always clamp your work. Let the burr do the work, do not force the tool. Cut/shape from the bad side of your work. The burr turns clock wise CW; moving the tool CW, will give better tool control, best experiment on piece of scrap. Use safety glasses when working.

larryd: Examples, you may want to: enlarge a hole a little bit to the left of where it is create a slot to mount a switch, motor, rectangular LED etc. bevel one side of the hole create a key way Because normal drill bits suck horribly for these things. Take it from me, just don't even try it. For safety reasons, ‘never’ drill a starting hole with the burr itself. Just as important, never use a burr that has a larger diameter than the starting hole. What is the risk? That it "runs away"?

larryd: Examples, you may want to: enlarge a hole a little bit to the left of where it is But what if I want to enlarge my hole a little bit to the right? Do I need a different tool?

Jiggy-Ninja: But what if I want to enlarge my hole a little bit to the right? Do I need a different tool? Turn the PCB around?
