Re: How to etch a powerplane with pcb-gcode? #etch

 

You could look into doing a polygon with a crosshatch fill pattern, with the pattern spacing smaller than your endmill size. Been a while, so I¡¯m a bit rusty on the details.
You could also just draw a grid or stripes on the milling layer.

Regards,
JJ

A 1/8¡± end mill has the same size shank as a V bit (typically), so perhaps more convenient than a 2mm or 3mm bit. Although ER11A collets are designed to close up 0.5mm, I found it somewhat difficult to get a 3mm shank tight in a 1/8¡± collet..

Thank's guys!

One of these solutions will solve my problem.

I think also does engraving a large area of copper with a V carve bit will take too much time.
I will use an endmill?bit 2-3mm.

This situation is not a common?situation so a bit coding in gcode?would be fine I assume.

Thank's all of you.
My best regards.
