Why I chose "drilling only"

I voted for this because I realize that milling a board is not the
best method, by far, but that having a machine to automatically drill
means less of my personal time, and a neater board.

This would be my next choice. Not because I want a drill only machine
first, but because realistically it's better if I start with a much
more forgiving design. I want to be able to mill non-metal like
machinable foam and wax for prototype case designs. Ultimately casting
in plastic.
