hey everyone..

I was writing to see if anyone has any suggestions as to which model of Dremel/bit set would be best for both drilling holes in PCBs (with really small bits), as well as for cutting and drilling holes in cases?

Any help would be appreciated..

thanks,
TYLER

I cant recommended a drill,

but for the bits used for drilling the PCB a 'Tungsten carbide' bit is needed , ive tried those HSS mini drill sets and they are pretty useless with PCB drilling they go blunt quite quickly. I use a 0.8mm bit for component holes and 1.2mm for wire

Im not sure how capable a dremmel will be with bigger holes . I think it would struggle with somthing like a 20mm hole in aluminium.
