For PC board there is www.PAD2Pad.com that will do custom boards.  They also provide design tools!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave Lockwood]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 11:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build your own CNC machine (Part 2)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[also if yuo would like to build a bigger machine check out cnczone.com ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[philip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2006 12:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build your own CNC machine (Part 2)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[thanks guys, this is an awsome tutorial. iv always wanted to build one for modeling but have little experties in electronics so connecting the motors to the  comp was a problem.

Getting plastic from cutting boards is not the best idea.  You will probably get either polypropylene or polyethylene if you take from a cutting board.  Polypropylene is not a good material to choose for this because has lots of internal stresses that may cause it to warp when you cut it; it does not cut well on a table saw unless you have the right blade (positive rake, teeth widely spaced).  Polyethylene is a much better material for this and it is very easy to cut (that’s probably what they got).  But wait, there’s more!!!  There are many varieties of Polyethylene: LD-PE, HD-PE and UHMW-PE.  UHMW is your best choice.  You can choose nylon or delrin, but for your first plastic foray UHMW will probably the easiest to work with.(and it should be cheaper)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[oddsends]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2006 6:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build your own CNC machine (Part 2)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[wow that's awesome. it will be great for milling pcb's.<br>if you're looking for a bigger, more accurtate cnc machine, check out jrgo's design over at cnczone.com<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[joevennix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2006 12:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build your own CNC machine (Part 2)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/how-to-build-your-own-cnc-machine-part-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[what kind of programs are needed for this cnc machine?
