Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Laser specs ?

Hi, the big problem with lasers is overheating the laminate materials
bonding agent. my friend works at a pcboard plant in mass. and they drill 50
million holes a week. laser can not hold a candle to a cnc pcb drill with
175,000 rpm multi spindles drilling as many as 12 or 16 boards at one
time.....happy holidays! brian f.
