FIRST
Would you guys kindly TRIM YOUR POSTS !
I've been trying to follow this thread but it is really messy !
end of rant.
SECOND, if you respond to this, please change the subject line to
PCB-CNC Design
how many of you guys really want a CNC PCB machine ?
The requirements for a PCB routing machine are much higher than a PCB
drilling machine.
and if you have seen a PCB routing/milling machine you would consider
chemical etching as the best way and routing as a poor second choice.
If you guys are serious about a design, there are enough sources on
the web to put together a competent design.
also with the recent notes on drilling, the drilling part should be
easy.
If I were to start out on a really cheap design with easy to get
materials, I would look at the PCB Driller as the goal, more so than
the PCB Miller.
Next question is "do we want to keep it on this group ?"
This list is not for CNC machine design, so the moderator would need
to want to keep it here.
