Re: PCB-CNC Design - what files to feed the unit with for drilling

2003-10-05 by crankorgan

Stefan,
        KCam at www.kellyware.com imports excellon drill files and it 
also does outline milling. It works in Windows. The motors run a 
little rough under Windows but the program was developed for making 
pcboards.

                                               John
