Is there  something that I am not seeing in that process that would 
give it  advantages over chemical etching?



Chris:  MY two-bits:  The only reason to MILL the  pattern on a PC-board 
would be if you ALREADY have the machinery and patience,  etc., AND need ONE of a 
given pattern "RIGHT NOW", and are absolutely  CERTAIN you'd never need 
"artwork" of that circuit, again.  
 
Otherwise, traditional film, photosensitization, chem.-etching  is the ONLY 
way to go!
 
Me, for "one-offs", I use the "pressure-transfer" patterns by  Datak (or even 
Tandy!)!
