Homebrew PCBs

I use a Dremel drill press that has a table that can be elevated up
and down with a knob.  That is the way I control the actual drill
penetration.  I use reconditioned surplus router bits (box of about
40) from Harbor Freight, I think.  Between the elevation table and the
PCB, I place a 4x4 inch by 3/4-inch softwood block.  The bit
penetrates the block slightly while drilling through the board.  I've
not yet dulled a bit after several hundred holes.

There are much more costly solutions, of course.  I find that sliding
the block around from hole to hole with my left hand and elevating the
table knob with my right is a very fast way to drill the board.
