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

I have been using  CNC engraver/ router for over 10 years.  They are not perfect and take some getting use to. Get one the can do at least12" sq. The higher the RPM on the spindle the better, mine is 10k. Also get one that is very ridged, one that is heavy, mine is a cast iron frame. The trick to doing your own Pcb's is high spindle speeds, and mounting you PCB board well - don't use vacuum use standard table clamps. Believe it or not you can get down to 11 trace width but it is ver easily damaged. I stay with in 20 trace width and have no problems. Also consider the software I us CopperCAM pay the couple hundred bucks and get the top version so far it's the best program I've found for routing your own PCB's.

Good luck, with Respect Boots-2b1
