Abstract: A pressure foot for a machine for drilling a printed circuit board is supported to be slidable in an axial direction of a rotor shaft and is connected to a vacuum suction source. The pressure foot is adapted to depress the printed circuit board during a drilling operation. A first air pathway is formed from a first supply port formed in a side wall of the pressure foot to a plurality of first blow-out ports formed in a contact surface of the pressure foot with the printed circuit board. The first supply port is connected with a pressure air source. A second air pathway extends from a second supply port formed in the side wall to a plurality of second blow-out ports opened toward an interior of the pressure foot. The second air pathway is in communication with a supply source of a pressure air. Thus, the working time and cost are reduced.
