Yeah, made from Durostone or Delmat would be perfect. Try buying some pieces and have them machined into tools or DIY. This is the same material that solder pallets are made from. http://www.boedeker.com/durost_p.htm http://www.polymerplastics.com/

| I am running composite fixtures on my wave solder machine and after about 500 passes each (1 month)they are showing serious signs of wear in that the composite surface is bubbling up and glass fibers are also starting to show. | The problem here

| Dave, | Sounds like you have material issues. Been there, done that. Tried 'em all. The best, longest lasting material I've found is called Durostone. It's made by a Roeschling, and most of the big fixture cutting houses now offer it as an option

Be careful about the material you choose. All the materials out there are basically glass-filled epoxy composites, but they are different blends with different fillers. Some of them have carbon in the matrix to make them ESD safe, but it also short

I don't know of a Eurolander pallet source. If I was a Eurolander and wanted to find pallet suppliers, I'd call the suppliers of pallet materials and ask them which of their customers that I should consider. Durostone CCR/Durapol IGM L200/Glastic CB

Thanks guys! Very helpfull info. SWAG, the manufacturer states that this material can withstand up to 350 Celsius for a short time period (around 10-20 seconds). It is my understanding that Durostone absorbs heat very very slowly like ceramic thus

I would try to panelize as big as you can for sure as you'll spend more time handling single boards than running anything. Additionally, this size is very close to smallest capabilities on GSM depending on your configuration. Fids on all boards in
