Has anyone tried auto-leveller for milling PCBs?

A long time ago I tried one auto leveller, but they all work the same. Then I realized that it is better to spend time on levelling the machine and facing a piece of MDF plus using quality PCB material than hiding machine errors and deficiencies through using auto leveller.

BTW, I am not impressed by the with / without auto leveller.



There are hardly any tracks left and the left side still seems to have some issues, so I think that there is something wrong with his machine.

There is an auto leveller built into UCCNC also, but I never tried that one.

I don't always agree with A_Camera, but in this case I support everything he says here - get your bed level, then try to get your substrate only the bed. Anything else is sticking plaster, and if you have a bowed board then autolevelling isn't going to work.
