Hello Group I have a quick question about precision drilling of home made PCBs. Because of poor eyesight, I use a CCD microscope next to my Dremel Model 300 drill press stand. Although this set up is a big improvement over doing thing solely 'by eye', there is a parallax error introduced between the location of the retracted drill tip and where it eventually comes in contact with the PCB. Once I saw a milling machine where one was able to sight straight down into a bulls eye. Is there a way to rig mirrors to do this? P.S. Sincle sided boards are no problem, as I can hold them up to strong light and position a hand held rotary tool with good enough accuracy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers Chris
