An alternative to a regular or specialized drillpress is to buy a small air
grinder for 1/8" bits. It has very high RPM, about 50,000 and perfect for
the carbide drill bits. Attach it to a small linear precision slide, cheap
on eBay, and you have the basis for a very accurate and efficient system.
I built one about 20 years ago and I added an air operated cylinder to
drive it from a footswitch. I also set up a laser pointer to make it even
faster to drill. The grinder is only about $ 22 from Harbor Freight. See:

I did try using toner transfer technique (laminator + magazine) but my drill
stand is not really fixed. I am thinking on getting the Proxxon later. In
Malaysia, all the tools are probably a lot more expensive than the one in
the States (I used to live and studied in St Louis for almost 10 years back
in 1995 - 2001).
Anyway, I just came back from a hardware store getting a airbrush compressor
and just ordered Pebeo Vitrea 160 from Kuala Lumpur. Also, I just purchased
an oven. These few days will be focused on getting the solder mask and
silkscreen using the technique described by Retromaster.
