Re: hobby double sided pcb's

I have been in electronics for 25-30 years and have never been
impressed with amateur PCB's.

If we show a customer a PCB it has to look the business.

I think it requires quite a bit of skill to produce PCB's at home.
Even the drilling requires a high level of dexterity to ensure the
holes at least line up fairly well.

Over etching/ under etching both cause problems.

One problem I had was uneven etching, where one side of the board was
over etched and the other side under etched !

I have seen the professionals get it seriously wrong so I dont expect
much from an amateur.

I once got a PCB back and it was all copper but it had the holes in
the right place.
Some idiot had input a wrong size into the system at the pcb
manufacturers end.
At least we got it redone free of charge.
