Homebrew PCBs

Many thanks for all the views.

So the general consensus is to stay well away from any Dremel drill 
due to lack of decent bearings & runout. I guess that rules out their 
drill stand(s) as well, as only their drills will fit it...

The Minicraft drill stand appears to have a 'sideways' level (not 
front-to-back) ?? - and also a tiny work area - so no good either.

If anyone can send me small pics of their drills/stands with a 
manufactures name & price that would be a really big help !

Alternatively, how about a folder in the Photos section to show off 
your setups ?

I've just taken delivery of the Velleman ET-20 etching tank, and 
despite initial concerns about it's quality, it really does a fine 
job of etching PCB's in super-quick time :)
