A system and method for making vias in a laminated printed circuit board (PCB). A drill having both a mechanical drill and a laser drill is used to make the via. The mechanical drill is moved over a location in the PCB where a blind via is desired. The mechanical drill drills to a point where a tip of a bit of the mechanical drill is a predetermined distance above a target interconnect layer. Then the drill is moved such that the laser drill is located over the via where the mechanical drill had drilled the via. The laser drill then ablates the resin remaining above the target interconnect layer.
