> Get a variety, and several of each size (they will break) drill I use a small hand-held high-speed drill, similar to Radiospares 547-616 and 1.0mm high-speed cobalt bits, similar to Radiospares 248-8294 The drill is coming up for 20 years old, the current drill bit 10 years old and still cuts like new. I've never broken one in a board. The last was snapped when the drill fell off the bench, but it has enough shank to be the spare Tried a drill press once and didn't like it. No tactile feedback. I think I would break more bits with a press I've a couple each of hand drill steel bits 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, and 3mm for fat legs and bolt holes etc -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
