Hello all I would like to ask some questions about Making my own PCB'S
I have on order parts for a light box also some PCB developing bits
Sodium Metasilicate for developing my boards and some Ferric Chloride to etch my boards
but this is not what my post is about.
I have a large CNC machine that I would like to try and use to make some PCB but I have tried and failed three or four times.
I'm sure it's just the set up of trace sizes that is stopping me from making/cutting out my own pcb boards.I'm intrested if any one has any good tip on settings and setting up my CNC for cutting and drilling out my boards
The cutter I'm using for cutting out my traces is a Carbide PCB Engraving Bit CNC Router Tool 25° 0.1mm and a .80 center drill but never used it as I've never cut a board yet I could use. I also have some .80 carbide drill bits for the CNC machine but again never use.
I'm making a VAC bead for my CNC machine as we speak.
would you say it's better to etch a pcb board ?? or cut it out
hope fully some one can help
