  1. Here’s the board mounted in the probe.
  2. I used a 10 mil flat end mill. You need a really short flute. Length of cut should be about 15 mils. I did several passes since the board wasn’t completely level. Fun stuff Edit: I’ve had no luck with v shaped tools.
  3. I just milled this board for a CNC probe I’m working on. Those are .01” slots. I’m surprised I could do this
  4. Just a note. There are a few videos on the internet on this (not many). I wanted to be clear that I mixed the alum powder with water about 4 tbsp / cup (or as much as can be dissolved). Some of the videos show mixing it with acid, which is not necessary, so therefore not advisable. The alum I used was a non-ferrous food grade version, so I could pickle some tomatoes or cucumbers if I'd like with the extra
  5. A few months ago a broke a #4-40 tap in a heat sink. After a lot of cursing and futile attempts to get it out, I just left it for another day. I felt compelled a few days ago to go after it again. This time I came across an article on the use of alum powder to dissolve the ferrous metal (tap) from the aluminum without affecting the aluminum. Long story short, I got some potassium alum powder, set up a double boiler with a Pyrex container and six hours later and a little baby sitting, the tap was gone and I was able to save the threads and all. Kind of amazing. You can see the small bubbles coming from where the tap was. Note that I don't remember any chemistry, so I'm hoping this was safe. 20200227_181723000_iOS.MOV

  23. I’ve been able to run the regulators with a 12-15v differential. Yes load can come into play. To be safe you should add another 10% on top of the desired HV plus the differential. That’s to accommodate voltage variations of the mains, which may not be applicable for you.
  24. Happy Birthday!
