Hi Mike,
I have a T-Tech machine and would sell it in a minute if there was a
better way to drill.
The toner transfer and optiocal (ultaraviolet?) both are well within
the home shop and both do some really great boards.
As Stefan has shown, the clothes iron is best left for clothes and
the heater roller seems to make the difference between a complete
board and one with gaps.
I use an iron to TT my silkscreen on boards so it would be easy
enough to do traces.
Heck, I thinking that at $15.00 or so per board, I'd have to re-think
some of my boards.....
I think it was Stefan who posted a pic of a 6 mil trace, and someone
else posted traces between pins on an TSSOP chip.
It is getting to the point that if you can draw it, you can etch it.
