If Im allowed to add my 2¢ - I would apreciate it. This is the
Homebrew_PCB group. I followed the other often metioned group a while,
but they go very much furhter than what I think most people on this
list are interested in (CNC PCB drilling and milling for home/hobby
use). Then the traffic there with very specialliced threads about
things most of us not even ever heard of makes it hard for simple /
newbee questions to "survive". Another big obstacle there (IMHO) is
the strict moderation where a new poster sometimes must wait several
days unilt his post is even apearing. So yes, IMHO I think this IS on
topic here as long as the main target to use/build such a machine is
drilling / milling PCB's

Don't get me wrong, the EDO_DRO yada yady group is cool. I learned
some interesting stuff there but IMHO a little overkill for the just
outlined purpose.

Btw, I fully agree with you that milling PCB's is messy and much more
of a hazzle than the chemical aproach. Probably a matter of taste
though.

Of course just my 2¢ Steve?
