On my accurate350 machine I used a standard consumer vacuum and fine paper filters.īiff44 - can you cite any references? Even though I have a full vacuum system now I would be interested in reading about the hazards. A few of us researched the toxicity of FR4 dust (among other byproducts) and came away not so worried at all. While I agree that the dust is bad I suggest you do your own research before going too crazy about it. Most of my prototyping is done on 9-10mil thick dielectrics, which I wouldn't have really thought usable on a prototyping machine until I tried it. I think AccurateCNC is poised to make some real gains in this market over the competition.

I got the professional vacuum system as well. I recently upgraded to an accurate360 as well - mainly to get video. (only thing I recall being an issue with the t-tech that I used was the foot/height mechanism - problems like you suggest) I expect that this company will be very successful as the name and reputation is established - at least it will put a fair amount of pressure on t-tech and LPKF (not that I have anything against them, I just couldn't afford their machines!). I really struggled with an investment of this size, but I thought a new machine with specs like this was a safer move than a used machine at similar/more money from a bigger company. This is similar to how the t-tech machine did it (with a single foot) but superior - since it is more force and a ring around the tool rather than one single foot with less pressure. The machine applies a few pounds of pressure to the ring, which holds the board flat (if it bows up at all). The depth limiting for PCB work is done with a depth limiter relative to a ring that contacts the board. The machine was a little over $6k - introductory price. I'd ask for a milled sample from accuratecnc and measure it under a microscope to check the trace widths. I'm not sure if DeskCNC has cutter compensation. That would also not help with small holes.

I suppose run-out can be compensated for in software just like cutter comp (tool wear) but I have not tried it. It uses 1/4" tooling so I had to buy a collet to get it down to 1/8". I have a Ryobi (Home Depot) router and it is not good for PCB work. I noticed on the accuratecnc specs that spindle runout is not listed. I believe nothing else is available that imports gerbers. It's still a good piece of software and the only choice I have found if yoiu want to roll your own system. It's still readable but who knows for how long: I would suggest downloading the demo here and playing around with it:Īnother thing that irks me is that they closed the DeskCNC forum.

On the plus side it uses G-code unlike some proprietary language like the others. The author is very adament that rub-out is not needed, despite many requests from DeckCNC users, and T-tech and LPKF both have it. The biggest beef with I have with deskcnc is that there is no rub-out function, just trace isolation. It looks like the accuratecnc product is using DeskCNC ( **broken link removed** )This is the same software/harwdare combo that I used to re-build my router at home (I believe I sent you those pictures a while back). What I can say is that 80% of (these machines) ease of use is in the software. It's still in the box so it may be a while until I try it.

We just bought a LPKF to replace our T-tech.
