  I use a cheapo Dremel tool.   I go around to all the pads that need drilled and dimple them with a awl.  Stops the bit from walking around.

If you do your board right the center of the hole is taken out of the copper, I drill with a Dremel 7700 and never had any drifting only when the center has not been taken out. As for the magazine cover page I have tried it but am not happy with the result yet.

 Shocked Please be more clear when posting.

I sharpen my drill bits under a strong mag glass and like Homefire was telling you the fiberglass eats them fast, I have tried all sorts of bits but all wear out fast.

  Drill Presses work best but everyone doesn't have one.

Talking about drill presses I'm going to be making my own for the Dremel that I have, all that I'm still looking for is the spring.
