That particular fab (which isn't the greatest!) got those dimensions right. I just measured a sample board and it is -0.003 in one direction and -0.010 in the other. You probably can't rely on milling operations beyond about 0.010" anyway. Something else to consider is panelization: If you are ordering a standard panel size and you want to fill it you will need to know how wide their cutting tool is (unless they just score it for you, or you are a DIY nut like DJ). > while on this subject, how close to the board edge can planes go? 5 > mil? 10 mil? more? Ask your vendor. I've used 0.025" before at a place with 8/8 rules. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <b...@ben.com> http://www.ben.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
