Are we on the same page? I was suggesting that a CNC drilling setup 
had more practical value to the PCB homebrewer than a spray etching 
setup. Wasn't suggesting PCB milling over conventional etching. Both 
CNC drilling and spray etching projects were considered fanatical 
pursuits by the starter of this thread.

And since this only takes 5 or so minutes it's the last thing on your 
process improvement list. Etching on the other hand takes hours, 
requires a certain amount of skill and concentration so a spray etcher 
is high on your process improvement list. Whatever floats your boat.
