Nice idea....
But way too much work for me as i never encountered any problems in this
area.
(I even drilled 80pin (or 84??) plcc sockets with a handheld spindle and
it
was possible to insert a socket without any trouble (slight wiggling
maybe)).
I use the small grinder quite a lot and i think it may be easier to do with
practice.
The hole in the copper really catches the drill if everything is right,
it do not take any time aiming or so...
hold the drill like a pencil in one hand, the board in the other (or in a
vice)
and then just "make a dot with the pencil on the pad".
takes maybe a second a hole, and most of that time is actual drilling
action.
