Homebrew PCBs

Amazing idea using a Dremel.

btw, does anybody know which is the pictured Dremel model ?

That will help to understand  works that can be done with it

Mine is far thicker and heavier to be supported by a small cutter


Hint or comments about the drilling  part are highly appreciated.


Best,

Samuel

You've inspired me - I just ordered a Sillhoute Cameo! 

I have a few
other ideas on how to use it and will post the results!
