Homebrew PCBs

Hello group,
My name is Lane and I am an electronics / robotics / computer / network  tech with a strong mechanical background. I have been making boards for years with tape and transfers. I dabbled in the photo resist arena a little. I even tried the laser printer sheets. Now ,having built a nice engraver I am trying to find good isolation milling software. I have eagle for board lay out, but, I cant seem to get the proper output for my machine. Is there a better product?? Am I just using it wrong??
\Any help, ideas, advice??

thanx 
Lane

there are a few ULPs for eagle that will do an isolation path
one is over here (you may have to sign in to get it)

and I think there were a couple others at the eagle download site

You can try eagle, or target. target test verion (100pin) can be  
downloaded at www.ibfriedrich.com.
It has isolation milling output.
