I'm going to get a bigger/better table for doing all my test bench stuff in the garage. Can someone recommend material I should buy for the table covering? Meaning, something static free and durable and well suited for scratchy circuit boards. Thanks Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
You can use plexiglass and a ground strap (wrist type) when working on nay of your boards. That's what I do.... On 10/9/07, Matt Rossiter <matt@rossiters.com> wrote:

A sheet of hardboard?? I use a very nice piece of hardboard that happened to be the back of an old wardrobe. Looks lovely and is about as durable as it gets. Martin.

That scares me a bit, as plexi is a pretty good insulator (and therefore it's easy to generate static on it). Even with a wrist strap I can picture some damage occurring. Wood would be strongly preferable in IMHO. Even better would be an ESD laminate top, which are available from places like www.mcmaster.com. That's kinda/sorta what we use.
