0. Any less and you are scooping the paste from the aperture with the squeegee blades. I'm not saying that either of these situations is a good or a bad thing, it's just that if you buy a 6 mil stencil, you are trying to achieve 6 mil paste height.

Hello Terry We have found that the best angle for metal blades is 37 to 45 degrees. Metal blades won't enter the stencil opening, rubber does. Metal blades are with out question the best way to print. If you go over 45 degress the blades will leav

WHAT IS THE BEST ANGLE FOR THE SQUEEGEE BLADE TO BE ANGLED AT? WE ARE USING 45 DEGREE ON OUR POLYURETHANE BLADES, AND I BELIVE WE HAVE THE OPTION OF EITHER 45 OR 60 DEGREES ON OUR METAL BLADES. WHICH OF THE TWO IS BETTER, OR SHOULD WE BE USING ANOT

We've actually seen best results with 60 degree blades (as measured from stencil surface to face of blade), and paste sticking has not been a problem since we switched to a higher quality metal blade. More expensive than the OEM stuff but worth it.

Sorry - don't know of any studies/papers. Having dedicated blades and holders for lead free is best. Also, our customer for lead free requires a line change-over check-off sheet that we follow, sign and keep with all the paperwork for the order. T

They are using the method where scored boards are separated using a rotating wheel / blade. I realize this is not the best process, however these capacitors are more than 10 mm from the edge of the board. From some reading online I think that means

Hi Chris, Acually, it worked pretty good. We made a new blade from SS. We were not sure if it would work so we diddn't want to commit a good sqeegee blade. You will want to try to keep the cutaway toward the center of the blade. And don't hit the fl

Almost 4-got. Get some squeegee blade detents. They're the little spring loaded things that keep the squeegee blades in place in the head, until the machine locks them in place. they tend to wear out if you do a lot of blade swapping. Fastek also
