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

[Scott]

You must have a better eye than me, because I don't see it.  Only one I see off is in the row of 8 at the bottom of the gate sequencer.
But, even that one, there's enough play on those holes to move the jack a mm one way or the other.  I just don't care enough.  I have 100 more modules to finish and I keep getting more PCB's

But, I did mention in that email if I was doing it for someone else, sure I'd punch the holes.  But, doing each hole in one shot vs the 3 or even MORE that some were talking about saved me days of work on that panel.  And, it's good enough for me!  

U've got to figure the fate of almost all of our synths will be the city dump.  Who in the general public (besides the few here) would have any idea what these machines w/ jacks and knobs do.  We'll be dead, our kid or grandkid will plug it in w/out any cables, and it won't do anything... 
into the trash w/ it. 
(there are enough stories here of people finding them in the trash, or for virtually free cause people don't know what they are)

Guess it depends what you're going for, but close to perfect, better quality work than anyone I have ever met in person, is good enough for me :)

And it shows. :-) Even on a photo, you can tell the jacks in the
multiples area are misaligned.
