no. (no it's not worth doing)

i think no because i think the whole pcb engraving stuff is not good at
all.
boards too uneven, too complicated etc.
if you want it easy and fast get a wet solution.

(and i can just imagine how much your wife will love homemade stamps ;-),
but the kids would for sure...)

there is much money payd for this machines, but i thing in case of pcb
making they are only interesting for drilling.


there may be some guys out there which have different opinions.


but i would like to have such a tool too for other things than pcb.

i would not try to make this a machine for selling, there are lots of this
machines out which are designed well.
which have a long developing process behind them, which are good now.
i think it would not be easy to meet this quality requirements with low
price.


it will change nothing if you make your machine easy copyable.
there are lots of plans out there of "easy produceable" machines (more or
less) so why should one try to copy yours.


if you still want to do this first get one for yourself. get it good and
low priced.
then think about selling it.
i don't think this is a thing with which you will earn money, maybe you
will spend a lot if you make one for you.


but that's only my opinion, and normally nobody cares about it.

sorry if i am a bit unfriendly, but i don't like the "I don't want to make
it easilly reproduced.".


but it would be nice to read your machine is completed and working fine
(and seeing some examples made with it).

why do you design your own? there are dozens out there.....


kind regards

if anyone is interested in:
i got the proxxon table saw with 1 carbide blade and 2 other for 50eur at
ebay today.
no need for making my own.
look forward to test its fr4 cutting capability.
but has 12V motor, may need replacing by serious 220v motor... i will see..
i'm just into getting in this "rc plane building and flying" stuff now.
i wanted to do this forever but never started. now it's time to.
the proxxon minidrill and saw will come in handy for sure!
anyone else rc planes makin' ? if yes please start other thread and tell me
(wan't hijack this).
