Hi,
My name is Michael and im from Melbourne.

I have tried engraving with a 60degree bit into the fibreglass board
by hand and if going from the edge its likle butter, but it takes
some force to pierce the copper because the bit wasnt intended for
drilling. Im hoping the dremel will be good enough for basic smd.
as for the sticktion, one idea i had was; you see where on the older
carriages of printers/scanners they had bronze guides that slide
around a steel rod, what if there were a few holes drilled into the
bronze around the diameter and a small pump would supply some oil/air
under pressure into the holes. then the fluid should slowly leak out
around the rod and hopefully it floats on a pillow of oil. or even
pressurised air.
I have seen some precision grinders that used air compressor for
frictionless bearing.
problem is its easier said than done.
And when i get some time ill sort out my progress and put it on the
internet for all to see.
-cheers
