Looking for Recommendations on CNC machine for proto PCBs

Post by sketchy »

I love OshPark. The challenge is - while I really try to avoid these - I make mistakes. I then have to wait 2-3 weeks and find out what new mistakes...well..yah, I'm not the sharpest tack in the drawer as the saying goes.

Our local hackerspace has a CNC machine. I've had a few proto PCBs done and these work extremely well for testing out circuits/sub-circuits.

While I enjoy helping a local business, the expense is getting to the point it would be more economic to get a CNC machine.

What CNC machine, software (for Gerbers), accessories, gotchas would you recommend/know of? Thanks very much.
