Homebrew PCBs

Additionally, i think the biggest requirement is the accuracy, as i 
will be using a lot of TSOP/SOP packages.  I have been talking with 
someone who builds CNC's for people, and he can get .0508mm accuracy, 
and not sure if thats going to cut it when I have multiple TSOP-8 
packages and 0805 components, but may.

In the 3k range i see .01mm accuracy, so im really hoping for some 
good advice, or recommendations.

I just finished building my reflow oven (B & D Infrawave converted), 
and would like to compliment this with CNC to bang out some 
prototypes.  I dont think toner transfer is going to cut it for these 
components without a lot of touch up.
