A406 Materials

Materials needed for the AccurateCNC A406 PCB router.

Bits

Note that you MUST ask Think and Tinker to “ring” these bits for the A406.

Tool Settings

Notes:

• New Tools can be added from ATC Control Panel in CNC mode. Global/Default settings can be set in CAM mode under “Setup.”
• Tool Settings Tutorial/Info
• V-Tip Max Plunge rate is 25 IPM

Drills

Notes:

• Buy these in packs of 5.
• We don’t need bigger than 0.8 mm because the A406 will use the 0.8mm router to make all holes bigger

Bits:

• 0.35 mm = DC208-M035-023D (used for Nystrom vias and for 0.40 mm drills as well)
• 0.5 mm = DC208-M050-036D
• 0.6 mm = DC208-M060-034D
• 0.7 mm = DC208-M070-040D
• 0.8 mm = DC208-M080-040D

Contour Router bits

Notes:

• These route out the boards from the stock. T&T calls them “Chip-breaker Router Bits”.
• Buy these in packs of 5.

Bits:

• 0.8 mm = RCC08-0315-020FC
• 1.0 mm = RCC08-0394-026F

Isolation milling bits

Notes:

• These isolate traces on the PCB. T*T calls them “2-flute Engravers”.
• Buy these in packs of 5.
