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. http://picasaweb.google.com/hcarlott/DrillPressLEDHaloMod Cheap led ring from DX and some double stick tape. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25513 (they have different sizes ranging from 60 to 90mm). -- carl -------------------------------------------------------- Henry Carl Ott N2RVQ hcarlott@...
