Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.
R. Bennett Post subject: CNC Milling CU clad board for PCB prototype fabrication Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2005 8:03 pm I am looking into purchasing a Sharp 9x42 3-axis CNC mill. [/url]http://www.sharp-industries.com/specs/lmv.htm[url] I have since been given further justification by hearing of other employees desire to quickly fab RF-circuits on copper clad FR-4. Their are CNC machines available specifically for this purpose, but I would like to be able to accomplish the same job with a standard CNC mill. The only advantage I know of to using a dedicated machine is that some of the models out there have the option to add plated through holes on the fly. Does anyone have any experiance in this area?[/url]

I have no idea if a standard CNC machine would make a decent PCB board. Then again, I don't know any real reason why it couldn't. I guess it all depends on the operator and the ability to convert the routing data to a machine language that the CNC mill interface box understands.
As for plating holes on the fly, I only wish it was that easy.
