Easy to machine circuit board?

2002-07-22 by Alan Marconett KM6VV

Hi to the list,

I'm back from the U.K. and also my (too short) vacation, and anxious to
get 'cuttin!

Just before I left (about a month ago), I cut some small PCB's for a
digitizer probe I built, and the first pieces I cut were Phenolic (some
scrap that I had). Search for my earlier commends "G10 dust".

I wouldn't mind finding some more!
