The very short answer is yes, mine has and will make PCBs. Its all in the tolerances of the build, the lead screws and the setup. The first few we...
Yes, I went with these dimentions as I build this machine to cut 820 x 820 carbon sheet.
I did and due to a lot of precision setup have had no problem. I tried with a single backlash nut but did notice a difference. I may try this...
