Homebrew PCBs

I'm not familiar with the H310, but I have the H65 (yet to be used) but as I recall, the H65 model requires assistance with the
.062" boards (.067" max tolerance), not really recommended, but doable. If your feed thickness spacing is the same as the older
model, I would consider it to be expected with it as well. IMHO.

Regards,

Roger

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Slipping rollers on new GBC H310

 

  

I'm testing the new GBC H310 laminator I got today. With the heat on max, the rollers slip a bit with a brand new Radio Shack .067"
x 4.52" x 6.3" double sided pcb with basic laser printer toner transfer paper on just one side. I can assist it through the
laminator by pushing or pulling gently. Is this typical? I'll use magazine paper next time. I just wanted a quick test.

I tried to peel the laser printer paper off dry but it felt well adhered to the copper. So now it's soaking in soapy water to see if
the toner was heated and compressed enough without modifying the laminator. I expect from Chris's post of last year, that I will
have to take the cover off and twist the pot for more heat. But right now the roller's slipping is the primary issue.
