could this work for PCB milling?

2004-01-10 by Justin

Firstly hello to the group - first time poster here :-)

Currently I produce my own PCB's using the UV/dev/etch method.
(homebrew UV box using insect killer lamps, etch tank is a cereal
container and fish tank pump)
This works well but is messy and time consuming (at least it is when I
do it!).

I would prefer a CNC milling solution and having searched around,
found what looks to be a promising 'off the shelf' solution:
http://www.milinst.com/robotics/robotics.htm#axis. At £189 for the kit
it would seem quite affordable, but is it up to the job?

I don't know much about this sort of thing, so wondered if anyone
could speculate on its suitability for prototype PCB work.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Justin.
