RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Proxxon rotary tool/press/vice and mods

The FBS 115/E can drill #96 holes (0.0063”).  The Dremel 395 has nothing on the FBS 115/E.  Completely agreed.

I just got the Proxxon FBS 115/E tool, matching press and mini vise to complement a KT70 compound x-y table I had prev. acquired for a project that never happened.

That tool/press has minimal run out and is probably 10x better than the Dremel 395 and 'plastic' press combo.

The Dremel gets relegated to grinding, polishing and cutoff wheel use now.

PCB work is reserved for the Proxxon.
Here are the mods I did..to enhance Vise stability and PCB drilling.
