Abstract: The interaction of the drill entry material and the drill tool are critical to producing accurately aligned connections between the different layers in a printed circuit board. The trend towards miniaturization and increased complexity of printed circuits requires the use of micro and small diameter (< 0.3mm) to produce the hole for subsequent plating and circuit interconnection. These smaller tools must endure end-load and torque stresses that cause the bit to deflect resulting in hole mis-registration and/or drill breakage.
