http://freeandeasy.sourceforge.net/ solves several problems with standard
CNC tables by reducing the total number of joints to 2 and compensating for
the non-rectilinear motion with software. Really HOT!

http://www.tinaja.com/flut01.html Lancaster has some unique methods of
moving a table to render complex PostScript patterns using simple
left-right-up-down steps with pen-up/down commands.

There is a lot of room for "fitting part together" in this area...

Subject: Re: [EE]: +AFs-OT+AF0- How to make PCB at home?


    Speaking of "Direct to PCB", I haven't seen anyone in this thread
    mention a proper PCB prototyping (CNC) mill, the prices are coming down
    all the time, shareware software is getting more common, and
    most of us have the skills to build one of these in our spare time.

Anybody got leads on a used ttech or lpkf mill?  What's this shareware
software you're talking about - generalized CNC mill stuff, or specifically
for PCBs?

Thanks
Bill W
