Which machine would one need for automated drilling? ?
It looks like the
CNC Mill would be needed. ?It's new price is $2200+. ?It would have to be
discounted an awful lot on the used market before I would think that was a
better buy than just having boards professionally fabricated.
You could probably get a capable machine for $500 on the used market.
There are quite a few kicking around. Clearly a fairly simple machine
is all that is needed.
In order to make an intelligent decision
about buying a drilling machine, it seems that I must become moderately
educated about the art of machining. ? Which is an interesting topic, but
not the hobby I was setting out to practice.
Not really. Drilling holes in a flat surface is probably the easiest
thing you can learn and do. Simple enough you could even do the coding
by hand.
