PCB Mill/Drill Project

2002-03-25 by n4onl

Hi everyone.
 Just found this group and I have been skimming through the posts. 
I'm interested in building a CNC PCB mill/drill. Stepper motors, 
linear bearings/rods, antibacklash nuts on Acme rod... and a Black 
and Decker RTX. The resolution works out to 0.0005" per full step and 
0.00025" if I half step. 

Is 1/2 or 1/4 of a thousands a good resolution for this project?

Does anyone have links to similar projects?

Hints? Tips? Insight? 

Thanks
mike
