PCB Milling complete process for through hole and SOIC with Carvey

Looks like it will work fine. I have slightly enlarged the standard footprints for most of my pcb component patterns to ease routing tolerances and give more copper for soldering.

What’s the other program?

Its free and I have found a great tutorial on youtube for it.

Now working through milling my students’ pcbs and finding enlarging trace widths in their designs is essential. I’m also finding we need to raise the travel Z height to .9 mm to avoid scratching the copper.
