Larry
I am actually building the PCB mill a lot like you suggested.
The mini was for machining small parts.
In fact you are the one who got me started. I'm on the PIC list as well.
I am waiting for the motors and linear bearings to come in.
Thanks Larry
Jim

I've got the mini mill and think it's great. Easy enough to CNC.
I also do a lot of PC board routing. But I wouldn't use a mini mill for
that. Not enough work area.
A better option for PC boards would be a simple 3 axis router made with
MDF,
bronze bushings, shafting and lead screws. You could even make it with
drawer slides.
If you do use a mill, you'll need either a sheet of MDF or a sheet of
aluminum to use for the PC board
work surface. Double sided tape works but the best option is a vacuum hold
down table made from two sheets of MDF.
Hook up a shop vac and the blank will be held down firmly and flat.

What does the list think of the Grizzly
G4031 mini lath ?
G8689 mini mill?
Are these machines adaptable to CNC control?
This is for a beginner I want to learn how to do my own
machine work ( hobby ). It seams like every project I get involved
with I need to go to someone else to machine something or cut the
holes for mounting parts.
I am building a small mill for PCBs.
Thanks
Jim Cullins.
