A resolution of .004" is probably pretty good for a particle-board-and-drawer-slide machine. If you want the fun of making your own cartesian robot or just want to non-critical work like engrave signs. For PC Board work, I'm pretty impressed with the Zen Cart 7 by 7 machine: http://zentoolworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=74 Check out their user videos and Youtube for some good examples of routing PC board with a .1mm cutter with sufficient accuracy for double-sided boards. Not perfect, but it looks pretty good for the price, and the PVC frame and actual linear bearing slides will be much more precise and dimensionally stable than anything that can be done with hardware store components. I also like that it's an engineered system rather than a hodgepodge of whatever was on sale on eBay at the time. Anyone using one who can provide some first person feedback? 73, Bob W9RAN
