Many thanks for all the views.
So the general consensus is to stay well away from any Dremel drill
due to lack of decent bearings & runout. I guess that rules out their
drill stand(s) as well, as only their drills will fit it...
The Minicraft drill stand appears to have a 'sideways' level (not
front-to-back) ?? - and also a tiny work area - so no good either.
If anyone can send me small pics of their drills/stands with a
manufactures name & price that would be a really big help !
Alternatively, how about a folder in the Photos section to show off
your setups ?
I've just taken delivery of the Velleman ET-20 etching tank, and
despite initial concerns about it's quality, it really does a fine
job of etching PCB's in super-quick time :)
