Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] What do the pro board houses use?

2004-02-21 by Adam Seychell

The best way to get a feel for what equipment is used by the professionals 
is to find a PCB fabricator who is willing to give you a quick tour around 
the factory. As for reading , go to the library and find the Coombs', 
"Printed Circuits Handbook".
I no of no web pages that would even come close to answering your question 
as good as the above two recommendations would.
