Are we on the same page? I was suggesting that a CNC drilling setup
had more practical value to the PCB homebrewer than a spray etching
setup. Wasn't suggesting PCB milling over conventional etching. Both
CNC drilling and spray etching projects were considered fanatical
pursuits by the starter of this thread.

And since this only takes 5 or so minutes it's the last thing on your
process improvement list. Etching on the other hand takes hours,
requires a certain amount of skill and concentration so a spray etcher
is high on your process improvement list. Whatever floats your boat.
