Introduction: DIY PCB Drill
In this instructable I am going to show you how to make simple pcb drill out of household materials.
Step 1: Materials
You will need:
soldering iron
old pen
some wires
motor
super glue
drill 0.5-1mm
Step 2:
Disassemble the old pen that you have and use this part.
Step 3:
Put a little super glue on the part that you took from the pencil on the motor and then insert the motor shaft. It should fit tightly, if it does not, roll a little paper on the motor's shaft.
Step 4:
Then solder the wires to motor.
Step 5:
Insert the drill into the part of pen and glue it.Drill must be around 0.5mm or larger.

IS it sufficient for a low budget CNC mill? It looks better than embedding a (costly) dremel in a CNC build!
