I'm looking for a mini bench drill for drilling mainly PCB's, hole size will be 0.6mm from time to time but mainly I'll be using 0.8MM for 'through components'.
I've been looking at the Proxon 220TBM but worried about the over eating problem when used longer than 10 minutes, then I came across Xenox 220TBX, which is dearer because it comes in white rather than green, being exactly the same as the Proxon. The reason is that this one is used in laboratories and is not 'massed produced' being the 'daughter' of the Proxon .... I was thinking it was a better quality.
The ten minute use and 10 minutes rest worries me a little, so if anyone out there makes there own PCB's I'd be glad to hear any recommendations for a mini drill. I have heard that someone modified theirs by drilling vent holes and fixing a CPU fan.
Thanks, Dave
