    A reasonable solution to levelling is to machine a pocket to suit your board size in some scrap MDF, and fix your PCB in it. If you are doing large PCBs, I would have them made as cutting off copper is a slow business.

    Then again, if you are anything like me and only find your design errors when testing the built circuit, if you have cut your own board there is less intensity to that 'Oh F***!' moment.

    I agree with the FM... especially when its taken ages to develop/etch, and then drill 1000's of holes. Am really hoping the CNC will make the whole process (no pun intended) go much smoother.
    From what I've seen of youtube vids etc, not using autolevelling is a crap shoot, and if it is so simple to implement, what's the downside?
