Yes.

Special tool is like a 3mm (1/8") drill bit. You can grind (is it the right

Lots of manufacturers and types in Europe. Pertinax or glass fibre. Also a
lot of versions with cut traces for use with IC's and other compoents
without need for cutting, also with suitable power supply rails. There are
also version with tracks like vero but tracks cut in very small length (3)
and also a type with only a copper ring around every hole.

Personally, I prefer the totally copperless board described in earlier letter.
