    First milled PCB

    Here is a pic of my first milled PCB. It was done a while back and I never built the stepper driver it was milled for, but it came out pretty good.

    I set the grid pattern to 1.27mm in a CAD program as the perfboard that was to be used was 2.54mm spacing. I also created a set of points fro the drill holes

    I then imported the dxf into Vcarve Pro and created the toolpath.

    I have a little spare time so I’ve had a quick look for some more useful threads that may be of interest. I haven’t personally read through them so take them as they come.

    Maybe it would be worth starting a new thread just for useful links to get the beginners started?

    Does anyone know what bits etc that he used for those mills. They look really good, that is the kind of precision that I would like.

    Thanks
