Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Also got to thinking about milling through holes in PCBs?

2005-12-09 by Evan Dudzik

I would imagine it would be more common on PCB's that are intended for
consumer products where they have to stuff it into some odd-shaped
enclosure, carve holes for plastic mounting posts, etc., rather than on
hobbyist-type boards where the most complicated thing we'd normally have is
some mounting holes.
