Hi everyone,
I have seen the 3D-printable PCB mill made by tmahring and wanted to share some tips that I have found out while working on Cyclone.

Also, for those with experience using different router bits, please check this list and let us know your thoughts. I want to test as many bits as possible.
I hope you like the design, please let me know your questions so they can be properly documented!

- [*] Regarding workbed leveling: the Z probing technique has proven to give a very good quality without the need to level the copper board.
[*] Z axis will perform better if driven with 2:1 reduction instead of directly with the motor.
[*] The step that is more sensitive to axis robustness is cutting the edges of the board (using a chip-breaker bit)
