Homebrew PCBs

Hi All,

While I'm working on my new setup ( one piece bed and tank made of
plate glass with roller blade bearings,  Garden of EDM power supply
with a PIC instead of 7555, steppers controlled with A3967SLBs and
software in Forth on a 486 or Pentium class machine ) you may find the
following books of use:

Subject: EDM Sinker Plans for sale

Hi Guys just wanted to let you know that I just finished writing a 170
page book on how to build a small EDM machine.
 
The machine was first shown at the CNC workshop held in Galesburg Il.
in June of 2005. Photos and a brief description are given on the
following website along with other info on the workshop. 

http://neme-s.org/CNC_Workshop/CNC_Workshop_1.htm 

I have no connection with NAMES or the website but I think it is a
fair review. 

I can supply additional photos of the machine as well as photos of
actual burns. 

The book is a home builders How-To Book. It covers 
EDM theory 
How to build the powersupply, 
How to build a very simple servo drive system, (non stepper motor)
How to build a simple precision (ram) slide
How to build a complete dielectric tank with filtering system.
The tank is capable of holding 6+ gallons of dielectric.
The work plate (12"x15")large enough to do serious EDM work.
The system is scaleable should you want a more powerful unit.
A complete section is devoted to electrodes and flushing methods and
techniques need for succesful EDM work.

If interested contact me at

The book sell for $20 USDollars plus $3 for shipping in the U.S.
I accept PayPal and Money orders.

Although the plans are for a "sinker"  the info should be immediately
useful for anyone looking at "burning" PCBs.



Also of use might be "S-EDM for the Home Shop"  published by Practice
Publications, which includes software in Basic on a CD.  Although the
plans are only for a relaxation type power supply the drawings of the
machine base are detailed and worth the price alone.

I'll be publishing pictures and plans of my system when it's "ready
for primetime",  but at the moment I'm working on my "new" 1954 1 ton
Willys Jeep pickup.  It seems that the town thinks that unlicensed
vehicles on private property for more than 30 days are a threat to
western civilization!!!!

Anyway, for the next few weeks I'm going to focused on hammer welding
more than solder...
