When I started making PCBs I found that using a normal electric drill in a
drill stand to be too cumbersome, resulting in many off-centre holes.
I personally find that the best tool to use is a modelmakers archimedian
screw drill. These can take up to a 1mm drill shank size, although it's so
precise I drill 0.6mm holes for most components. Cost about 6 UK pounds.
