S62 has been designed exclusively for the use of LPKF
drilling and milling tools manufactured specifically and equipped with
spacer rings. If other tools are used, we cannot guarantee that the circuit
board plotter will function without errors, nor can we be held liable for
working results.
The tools are subdivided into two main groups:
• Surface tools with 36 mm (1.42") total length (Cutters and End Mills)
• Penetrative tools with a total length of 38 mm (Spiral Drills, Contour
Routers and End Mills long).
The numbers on the spacer rings indicate the tool diameter.
