My first ever CNC cut PCB

[tonyfoale]

Quite deep, but for 1st cut can not complain.
May I ask what kind of software was used for circuit design?
Eagle pcb takes me ages and is inaccurate with leg component distance.

Thanks
Tom

I tried Eagle and did not find it easy, after trying some of the other usual suspects I settled on dipTrace to produce the designs and the FlatCAM to do the isolation routing. Within the last few days I came across copperCAM which looks useful. Here is a link, I have not tried it yet.

I think that this was my first attempt using that software around 2018/2019 on a Bridgeport mill.



I made a vacuum chuck to hold it down flat. Measurements showed that it was almost perfectly flat and there was no need for level mapping software to correct the G-code for level.
