Homebrew PCBs

As strange aas it may seem, in my supporting Stefan,
bits do break and often. Stefan is not a klutz. :)

I thinks it's a difference in perspective, if you are
a machinist, with the right tools, knowing the correct
procedures and used to machining steel; drilling a few
holes in epoxy fiberglass is easy.

For the rest of use who are weekend warriors, drilling
ususally means putting few holes in a 2 x 4, it's
difficult to downsize the procedure.

what may be a 'hair off' to the weekend builder, will
look like the grand canyon to the experienced
machinist. Combined with the diffence in tool
sharpening (if ever), it all adds up to drill
breakage. At the low cost of drills, it's not a big
deal to the weekend builder.
