You can use a small drill, similar to proxxon (or dremel). The better the
collets and bearings the happier you will be. Proxxon has very good
collets, i have heard of problems with dremel and co.. Any straight
grinder or router might be used too.
You also need a drill stand. again there should be no play, so use a
better quality. I use a homemade pivoting drill press which also works
very well.
Carbide drills are what you want for higher numbers of holes, but if you
really only need one or two boards you can use cheap HSS drills. Those can
be used free-hand without a drill stand/press and also work ok in lage
power drills as play and runout is generally not an issue. However, the
glassfiber makes them dull REAL fast.
