Moderated Re: Circuits on 2 sides
Thanks for the info Harvey. Great. Even though SMT uses less space and I could do multiple paths on one side, I see the other side a waste of space. You are correct as this will not affect me.

Moderated Re: Circuits on 2 sides
The answer is a qualified yes.? Most circuits use top and bottom parts with vias as needed. However, you need to consider that the two circuits are going to be less than 1/16 of an inch apart, and

Moderated Circuits on 2 sides
I was thinking...my next pcb will be simple but will be all SMT components for my first time. I was curious if it is ok to put one circuit on one side of the 2 sided boards, and another on the other

I used a mini air die grinder 1/8” collets perfect for PCB carbide bits and the right RPM 56,000. Only $27 at Harbor Freight. I bought mine about 30 years

Yes, I see from the photos that they are in principle much the same. A spinning drill bit that can be raised and lowered, a place slide the pcb around in any direction to reach each of the holes to be

Thanks.? Linear rail platform, linear stepper, stopping points are settable (in use).? Worked well until I started making PC boards that were too complicated to produce here. Harvey

We're talking variations on a theme. Mine seems to be more elaborate, but then again, I could throw stuff at it. /g/homebrewpcbs/album?id=86511 Harvey

Re: Drill precision holes without CNC, was RoHS question
"The registration holes need to be exact, which is why I made an upside down drill press, which is far more accurate (no parallax)." I used a different technique to get the same benefit. FRP boards

When I made double sided boards, I didn't do electroplating, but did epoxy the top and bottom boards together.? The registration holes need to be exact, which is why I made an upside down drill

Re: RoHS question
Electroplating after applying a resist is a good idea. That'd work just fine. I was never keen on ammonium persulphate, as a cheapskate hobbyist the mixture didn't last, unlike ferric chloride that

I sometimes use soldering tweezers to solder parts. The trick is to use your tweezers to hold down the part (one tine of curved tweezers works well) after tinning & fluxing both pads. Gets harder as

Re: RoHS question
I never tried tin plating PCBs, from memory the stuff was expensive, hard to get and went "off" quickly. Seemed like a lot of hassle for little reward, I just sprayed boards with clear lacquer. Out
