IIRC, only the outer layers are etched after drilling. Inner layers 
are etched, stacked and epoxied before the first drill. Whatever, I 
was referring to 1 or 2 layer boards, which in reality you may end 
up doing most of the time.

Even the free CNC software packages come with backlash compensation 
built in. Doesn't help much for some milling operations but works 
fine for drilling.

A word of advice...Send out any boards you're selling...If your 
clients can't wait or afford it then you're in the wrong business.
