Why does this rotary encoder have both PCB pins and mounting screw?

I might have to get a drill press stand for it.

I got one of those last Xmas* ... the problem is you can't really get any decent size drill bits for it. The biggest bit I could find that fits in a Dremel chuck was 6mm. I might have to get one of those reamers...

Are you using the keyless chuck for Dremel? I didn't test but the keyless chuck can adapt to some slightly largish drill bits. Maybe 6mm is its maximum. I'll get a reamer too. Glad to know both you and your girlfriend like machine tools. :slight_smile:
