Hi all, I've been making homebrew PCBs for a while using the blue Press-and-Peel and getting good results. I was wondering if anyone could help with tips on the others tasks in making PCBs: [ And changing the subject away from Toner Transfer!!! ;-) ] 1). Cutting boards Does anyone know of a suitable mini saw table/inverted router type setup to accurately cut PCBs to size? I know Dremel do a few add-ons for their hand held drills, but are they any good? Is there any other kind of hobby/craft mini-saw table that could do a nice job of cutting PCBs? 2). Drilling I can't really see any other way than a Dremel by hand... 3). Silkscreen Top Component Layer Anyone know of any inkjet ink/paper/system that can be ironed on to the top surface of a board to give component locations/orientations etc. Any a nice cheap home solution? Does have to last forever just so the boards can be assembled with less faults ;-) I though about doing double sided boards and using the top copper side purely as a layout layer without any connection tracks at all. 4). Solder Masks Like the silkscreen at no 3) any kind of inkjet ink/paper setup that will iron on solder masks? Any ideas, input gratefully received. Cheers all Kev/.
