You've reached the 0.15mm Drill Hits page! That probably means that you wants the down-low on drilling those super-duper tiny holes.
The first thing to know is that tiny bits are really, really, really tiny. So tiny that they frequently break, sometimes even during a run. So it's important to be watching the whole time the tool is using them to be able to stop it (usually by lifting the cover) if it does break, and get a PI to remove and replace the bit. You'll then have to restart the process from the step you stopped at with the fresh bit. Don't blink!
Unfortunately, the software isn't clever enough to handle this bit because it's smaller than the default drill marker (which is 0.2mm), so we have to do of manual work to force it into using that bit. Not hard, just a few steps:
- Setup your process, import your files, and add your fiducials, all as you would normally.
- Open the toolpath generation window (the fourth button, called “Toolpath Dialogue”
