Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Hello all!

Been a while since I posted here, if I've ever posting here at all. I
have mainly been just reading the group, didn't really have much to
improve on anyone's ideas, until now.

I want to mention the plans I bought for a PCB mill. I decided on the
Rockcliff CNC machine because it was scalable, and I don't need a HUGE
machine for making PCBs. I got them a while ago on ebay, but they've
recently been updated and improved a ton! Since I have yet to actually
build the machine, I emailed the guy I got the plans from and he gave
me the new version for free!

Looking the plans over, the machine has been improved, and assembly
has been made easier to understand. There are even stepper motor
driver schematics and PCB files. (while not the best stepper driver, I
believe it'll do the job if you can't get a kit from xylotex or
hobbycnc.com) Like I said, its easily scalable, so I plan on making a
desktop-sized one later. I'm currently working on my own design and
software for a small mill.

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know about it, also, when i bought
the plans, they were $40... he dropped the price to $30, so if you
can get the plans, I highly suggest doing so. definitely worth it.

Let me know what you guys think,

Adam
