Re: board house

2006-09-10 by David Brainerd

I have ordered several of the $33 specials from Advanced circuits. 
They have solder mask and silk screen on BOTH sides.  They also have a
site, www.freedfm.com  ,that you upload your files to for a FREE check  
to catch errors before manufacturing.  This will catch a lot of dumb
errors.  The board size is anything up to 60 sq inches.  I put several
smaller boards on a panel.  The last 2 were 58 sq-in.  Advanced
circuits will not cut the individual boards out without additional
cost($50 I think).  I use an 18" paper cutter to cut them out.
  The boards are produced in 5 days or less and are MADE IN U.S.A.!! 
My only complaint is you must buy 3 or more, so(unless you are a
student) the total is $116 with shipping(to Idaho).
