Nice laser link. UV/purple ones should be ok, power is high for semi laser. Used in Blueray DVD drives? What about infrared lasers? burning off the resist, as long as the resist absorbs IR, the copper

I've got an eagle board (in rev 4.16) that I can't make. Setting up for turbo cnc, and most of the other values at default, I run pcb-gcode and while the board turns red, I get an error "illegal phase

HI JJ, Fine work you have done! I have cut a little PCB today, it went very well. However, after inspection I found 3 islands that were supposed to be separate, but where still together because they w

Hello, would anyone please tell me how I can make the above combination work to produce gcode for milling, drilling and cutting out PCB's. thanks Denis

Weeks ago I started with Target. I succeeded with the making of a milling file for tracks and pads. The drilling file is still a problem. Then, I tried Eagle, and I finally managed to make a mill file

I use PCBCAD17 for my layouts which I got off ebay. Is there a converter to convert its gerber files to output for a milling machine? What does a milling machine cost? Nigel.

I've successfully made boards before but today I tried to generate a double sided board and 'both' sides files were the same side(bottom). I even tried to eliminate the one side and generate the side
