light ring conversion for miniature drill press

2010-05-23 by H. Carl Ott

I was starting to have some problems getting good alignment when
drilling the smaller holes/pads on some of my home brew pcbs. (larger
pads (>40mils) etched as an annulus are not really an issue)
 Figured better illumination might help.

 This was such a cheap & simple mod, and since it worked out so
well... I thought I'd share a couple of pics.

 Cheap led ring from DX and some double stick tape.

sizes ranging from 60 to 90mm).
