Tools and Drill Bits- LPKF, T-Tech, MITS, AccurateCNC

Midwest has been distributing tools used for the prototyping and rapid manufacturing of printed circuit boards to Corporations, Universities and individuals throughout the world for over ten years. Our tools are designed for maximum material removal and long life. They are manufactured from the finest grade carbide on the latest state-of-the-art equipment. We stand behind the quality and precision of our tools and are available via email or phone to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Scroll to the bottom of this page to additional information about the tools that we offer.

We offer two overall lengths (OAL) of tools to minimize set up time. The 1.42” OAL tools are used for copper removal or “mechanical etching” of the copper from the top side of the PCB to form the lines and spaces. The 1.50” OAL tools are used for cutting thru the board (such as drilling and contour routing).

We carry a complete line of carbide tooling for use in PCB prototyping equipment such as from LPKF, T-Tech, MITS and AccurateCNC. Additionally the carbide tooling is being used in numerous table top CNC machines with great success, many of them being the “homebrew” variety.

We are pleased to announce that we now offer Copper Clad Laminate for prototyping PCB’s. The epoxy fiberglass Copper Clad Laminate is flame retardant and is comprised of continuous woven glass cloth imbued with epoxy resin. It is designated as FR4, the flame retardant version of G-10 material. For a complete list of the different size copper-clad laminate material that we offer: Copper-Clad.
