shop. This makes it possible to mill aluminum if an endmill, like
the one shown in Figure 1.6, is purchased from a machine shop
supplier. The drill press can then double as a small milling
machine.

You will need a set of drill bits like the ones pictured in Figure 1.7.
The 5/32-inch and 1/4-inch drill bits are used most often during
the projects. You will need to separately buy the small 1/32-inch
and 3/64-inch bits that will be used to drill the component holes
in the printed circuit boards.
