Interesting observations.  Does anybody have pics of milled vs. toner transfer PCBs on their website?  How decent is possible with the toner transfer process really?  If one is willing to buy the commercial product rather than trying to use conventional paper, can better results be had?

  Anything to do with PCBs? IMO, you'll be better off using traditional 
  methods to create the board then using the mill to drill. PCB milling 
  is usually popular with the following types;

  1. Those unsatisfied with the toner transfer board creation process 
  and cannot manage the photo process for whatever reasons.

  2. Those with an underutilized mill/router.

  3. Those in the business of selling mills/routers or selling plans 
  for such.

  4. Environment conservation freaks who see the chemicals used in 
  traditional board creation processes as one more doomsday ingredient.
