It's the only sensible way to drill holes IMO. But drilling before
etching makes no sense to me. CNC drilling seemed to have been high on
wish lists in the group until the resident machinist declared that any
backlash greater than .001" (or some similar nonsense from his
textbook) just wasn't going to cut it. Surprisingly, he seems to still
drill by hand.
