Equipment that we have

Bubble Etch Tank

UV exposure unit

On loan from James Fowkes

Lightbox

New addition, hacked from emergency exit light by David Clarke

PCB Drill

Stand on loan from James Fowkes Precision drill on loan from David Clarke

The MaxiCraft drill, from RS has a 12V power pack, but can run on 9-18V d.c. With a suitable 18V power pack, the drill will run at 18000RPM

The chuck capacity is 3.2mm, and there are also some collets (which replace the chuck, which simply unscrews) which can be used with micro drill bits with a 2.5mm shank.

Micro Drills, Collets and Soldering Iron Bits are stored in this small cabinet.
