> Firstly my thanks to Steve for letting me into the group,

> drain out of. On and off over more years than I care to think of I
> have dabbled with bits and pieces often needing circuit boards to be
> made. Recently maybe over the past 5 or 6 years I have been playing
> with casting, home built CNC Routers and most recently have been
> constructing an electronically controlled dividing head. All of the
> recent projects in one way or another need a circuit board preparing
