Thanks Wayne,

I'll let you know.  First off, I'm hoping I can simply bolt the board blank
down sufficiently to keep it flat.

At one time I wrote some software to digitize an irregular surface, and add
in the desired cuts so that it could be machined.  Probably overkill for a
PCB!

I'm thinking I might incorporate a vacuum hold down into the PCB router
plans that have been on the back burner for perhaps 4 years.

First thing is to see if I can minimize the backlash sufficiently to mill a
decent board on the Sherline mill.
