Homebrew PCBs

I am working with a friend to make a small router.  10x10 x 2 work
area or maybe a little larger.

it would be made of MDF, so there is no metal cutting by the machine.

Our first goal is for the home guys who do not want to make one all
from scratch and find the $2,000 machines just too pricey.

The unit will be set to use with a Dremel or roto-zip or some other
light weight tool.

One goal or option is to offer a floating head so a etcher/engraving
cutter could be used to cut traces (actually cut isolation of traces)
for PCBs.

We are not ready for the market just yet.  should be there by the end
of January.   But, we are very interested in what you would want is a
starter machine.

It all started from the desire to have a low cost pcb drilling machine.

We anticipate offering the machine only.  the machine and a full
electronics package, power supply, motor, everything but the Dremel.

and, also the electronics as a shopping list so you can pick and
choose what you need and supply the rest from your storeroom.

Any suggestions on what you are looking for ? what features you want ?

for doing PCB's we would offer a vacuum table, but also will include
the plans for making a vacuum table.
