The process materials alone will cost you more than a half dozen stencils. Not to mention the labor involved. Then the cost of all the equipment involved? Jeez, how do people like this make it to power?

Dave, Good advice and point well taken. Do you use a private service or your local Labor and Industries folks for monitoring? Thanks.

Try trimming the leads to no more than 0.020" instead of 0.040" (1mm). The extra labor on the front end may save on the back end especially if almost all your boards have bridges in this area.

Joe, If you order and take all 1000 boards in one delivery you should be in the $6.00 to $9.00 range for labor only. Jerry

I would suggest investing in a selective solder machine as well. This has saved us on a ton of labor and headaches. The customized brackets for the wave is not cheap. I would first check auctions to save thousands...

The best way to clean after soldering is to develop a "no clean" process and save the cost and labor of cleaning. Also a "questionable" way to develop clients is to post scenarios that appear to be real when in fact you are trying to generate busin

We have, in the past, made our own trays for loose parts and put them in the tray tower. Of course someone has to put the parts into the tray so you may not be saving any labor but the machine placement should be faster. BR, Mac

What pick and place machine do you recommend under $20,000? I would like to be getting 8,000-12,000 cph reliably and without much maintenance/labor/issues.
