Well, when I
was making a notepad (using the old pages from a
Dilbert desk calendar) I just clamped the paper between a piece
of 1/4" sheet wood and the circuit board backer; then used my
hand drill. Kept the clamps as close to the hole location as
possible.
Congratulations
You manufactured a paper drill. Next time, . . .
You'll find that a drill press is much more convenient if you
need to do a bunch,...
Yes, it would've been, if I indeed had one in my shop.
and that a hollow tubular drill bit (try
a printer Binding Supplies company!) works much better than a
standard helical drill bit.
See comment above...
Always one wise-ass in the bunch, isn't there? ;)
The circuit
board I used, IIRC, as a backer was a ISA
riser card froman IBM PC300GL PC. Cut off all but one of
the card edge slots. Keeps the pads at a good angle for
use, and hanging... :)
'course now somebody will show up who is desperate for one of those
boards, . . .
