A small drill press is essential if you are making printed circuit boards or custom tag-boards where fine twist drills of typically 0.8mm and 1 mm are used.
A standard drill press is a bit bulky and typically does not have a sufficiently high speed or suitable chuck for small drills. And hand drilling inevitably ends in misplaced elongated holes and broken drills.
We started discussing this topic on another thread but thought the information would be more appropriate in this new thread.
What do you use. Have you built a small drill press?
