Hi

I've taken some pictures of my new PCB drilling machine, and
made them available online at
http://home.alphalink.com.au/~seychell/drill_MkII.html

Hope the pictures don't take too long to load.

The machine has virtually come straight from the workshop
and I've yet to use it for PCB production. When I start
using it I'll find all the problems and most probably will
be making alterations. One feature I'm thinking of adding is
laser diode pointer for guiding the hole location on the
PCB. I've never fiddled around with visible laser diodes.
Does anyone know if those cheapy red laser diode modules be
any good for this ?
