"The real problem is that I'm only using a dremel tool, so the runout
in the bit is almost as much as the annulus size!"
The pads are not designed for homebrew pcb efforts, where drilling can be a
little off. The easiest fix is to increase the size of the annualar rings.
this increse also helps with preventsing the pads from lifting off the board
during soldering.
When you are routing a trace between 2 pads on a an IC then you can just
reduce the size of these pads for clearance.
Works for me. I am not looking for a production pcb clone, but rather a
successful design and etch.
