New Machine Build- Mini PCB drill table

[tvdbon]

OK, so this will be my build thread for a new mini table. I want to make a small cnc that I can use to drill the holes on my pcb's. At the moment I'm planning at able as small as needed for me to drill holes into a 160mmx100mm pcb board (eurocard). I'm planning on using mdf for the structure and a dremel for the router part. Normal m6 threaded screws for driving it and 3 30 oz stepper motors.

Does anybody see any problems with what I want to do so far ?

If you want to drill small holes then the dremel will typically have WAY too much runout. Either use a Kress 900 watt router or get one of the nifty spindles from Wolfgang Engineering that are sold on eBay. I just bought one of those and I am waiting for delivery now.
