[sdiy] speaking of drilling... Small drill press recommendations?

[David G. Dixon]

Todd,

I bought a cheapo Ryobi drill press at Home Despot for about $110 last
Christmas.  With #64 to #56 drills, this works great for PCBs.  Also, I
bought a nice set of DeWalt drill bits for metal at the same time, and these
work very well for aluminum panels.

Cheers,
Dave
