Re: dril a scp 486
Drilling a 486 CPU is like drilling glass, the 486 is probably harder. Same technique would be needed, diamond drill, water, patience etc.
Here’s an old page for making a keychain from a 486,

Re: dril a scp 486
It also reduces the heat generated in the tooth and washes away the swarf from the operation. Ultrasonic drills also use a mist spray for these same reasons (but they don’t utilize diamonds bonded

Re: dril a scp 486
Diamond abrasive bits are actually diamond powder mechanically attached, not chemically bonded, to the bit body with nickel plating. When your dentist uses them, notice there's always a cooling water

Re: dril a scp 486
Depends on the age on the CPU.
Most CPUs up to the first Pentiums were all ceramic – have fun drilling thru that. Later ones shrunk the ceramic bit and have a “moat” of maybe 5-15mm of

Re: dril a scp 486
I thought the hole was to be through the circuit board, not the chip itself.? The substrate is silicon which is rather hard.? It has a Mohs hardness of about 7.? Titanium is less hard at 5 to 6 as

Perforate the chip with a LASER!
?in a CNC to run a circle pattern round-and-round to achieve the desired hole size.

Re: dril a scp 486
Keychain or similar I guess, maybe drawer pulls for a nerd cabinet.
Never tried drilling one, but yeah diamond would be the go. Maybe masonry or glass bits. It’s a pretty common craft item.

Re: dril a scp 486
1) I am curious as to why you want to drill a hole through a scrap 486 microprocessor.
2) The substrate for the microprocessor is very likely some type of ceramic material, so it is expected to be

Re: dril a scp 486
I don't think we are talking Cu/FR4 PCB drilling here, rather drilling through a ceramic microprocessor package.

I started with a .6 to 1.5mm set and then bought 10 pack replacements for some I did break, all from eBay.? I was drilling lots of small holes and was dulling them before I broke too many.? They

Re: dril a scp 486
There are also re-sharpened ones that are even cheaper. Unfortunately, one of the batches I bought were packaged with a piece of? plastic foam with the drills stuck into it, quite a few of them broke

Re: dril a scp 486
Yes, try the carbide PCB drills. They're sharp and hard and will cut stuff that just laughs at high speed steel or even cobalt drills. BUT they are fragile and will break if you look at them sideways.

Re: dril a scp 486
Yep, the PC drilling machines I have seen were branded DAK they used high speed electric drive spindles, 10K rpm?? and we used small collet held carbide drill bits, they were CNC?
