Re: 500 buck CNC pcb drill+ (How many should I make?)

2004-04-27 by ballendo

Steve,

Good question. Sorry for the confusion. 

Full 3d. Mill and drill. COMPLETE kit. A few hours assembly, at most. 
With purchased or user-made additions, pick and place and solder 
paste dispensing is do-able. (I'll probably sell the additions for 
these last two at some not too distant point in the future, but you 
could DIY instead, using the basic machine to start with, and the 
recent discussions.)
