I've been using a Dremel and the drill press attachment to drill PCBs, and it has quite a bit of flex. Recently I noticed Jameco sells a mini drill and stand:

Has anyone used these? The price is quite attractive ($26 for the stand and $35 for the drill) and it looks sturdier than the Dremel stand. Should I go for it?
Second question: What's the best way to cut PCBs without a power tool? I almost destroyed my paper cutter trying to cut 1/16" FR4 and it barely cuts 1/32" FR4. Plus, the cuts it makes aren't completely straight.
