pcb fabrication - Methods of sliding PCB in straight line on drill press


I use a drill press like the first one in the linked answer at home for drilling my PCBs. If there was a way of sliding a PCB along a straight line left-to-right (or front-to-back) it would make drilling holes which are in a straight line much faster.


Do such slider systems exist without big costs? Or is there a design someone can share for making one? If there could be a system which also has ratchet-type stops every 0.1 inch, and which is equipped with a "latch" to switch between left-right and forward-back, that would really help.



Answer



A cross-slide will work for you as well. I have one on my christmas list. :-)

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
