What PCB drills are you guys using? Anyone got any recommendations?



Totally home-brew with "instrument grade" 400 Hz. 3-Ø quill-motor rebuilt
with 1/8" collet-chuck. Turns 12,000 RPM, fixed. Would prefer twice that, but
motor was "surplus" cheap, but very fine. New, probably $200?

This is mounted in a fixture with Thomson linear ball-bearings. Only 1/4"
"Z movement", but drills a hole per second with ease. LOTSA "DIY
