Homebrew PCBs

Some of you may have noticed one of our customers frustration last 
week with interfacing Eagle to Desk PCB.  I received several e-mails 
from him that describe in some detail the Eagle configurations needed 
to produce useful Gerber and Excellon outputs. These have been posted 
on our DeskPCB user forum at http://www.imsrv.com/deskpcb

He also gave me permission to post the message, following my 
signature.

Fred,

I have to admit, after all my previous whining, and struggling to get 
the 
settings in Eagle PCB just right, that DeskPCB does a pretty 
respectable job 
of etching boards using:

      - A Sherline Mill
      - A Xylotex LPT stepper controller (great! & cheap)
      - Master5 LPT PC software & translator (gcodes/hpgl to motion) 
by Art 
Fennerty
      - Eagle PCB
      - DeskPCB
      - etching bits from Think & Tinker (10 for $70)

A heck of a lot cheaper than LPKF or T-Tech!!

Regards,

Bob
