    Looking for Feedback

    This is the 5th board I've milled so far, and I was looking for community feedback on anything wrong or right with it. The LEDs are 1206 size and the traces are 15mils. The IC is a PIC12F683.

    That looks very nice. Was there something you didn't like?

    What are you using to create the boards? (cad, cam and controller?)

    I used EAGLE & PCB -GCode for the Schematic and Board layout. Mach 3 controller software and a Zenbot 1216 machine with a 60 degree cutter on a Wolfgang spindle.

    I am wondering why the holes are not exactly centered on the pads. That hasn’t happened before. The only thing I thought of was the machine sat for about 2 hours between milling and drilling. Nothing was turned off or moved. But I do use carpet tape to hold the board down- I wonder if that could have settled or shifted after 2 hours.

    most likely you have a little bit of backlash in the system..

    Very nice, I would like to get a close up of an area with a trace coming off a pad at an angle if possible. I just want to comapre to mine.

    nice board. Our new machines use a belt drive system with very little backlash (almost undetectable). All of the holes are off in the same direction as well. do you always get this result?
