Hello,
Im based in Surrey

Are you able to manufacture PCBs as well?

 

[thecoldfact]

At the moment, no.

 

[dom87]

Shame. Because that is one thing I've been scouring the internet for. Most of them expect you to buy PCBs in their hundreds, not a 10 of and charge thousands of pounds for the privilege. There needs to be someone on the market who does simple hobbist PCB service on their CNC router or something.

If you do, keep us posted.

Making decent PCBs requires quite an investment. I don't want to hijack this thread but if you are looking for cheap PCBs for hobbyists in the UK try www.jackaltac.com/ I haven't used them but they are part of PCB-Pool who I have used for many years.

I have the ability to make PCB's, but I dont feel confident in their standard compared to those you can get through a proper manufacture if the demand was there I would give it a go. I have to admit I thought there would be more hobbiest PCB manufacturers. I know my skills I advertised are professional and if I made PCB's I have the ability to offer a full turn key solution, I guess I either need a partner, or a guinea pig who doesnt mind being the guinea pig, as its only been me who uses my PCB's

You could just buy the PCBs in so you can offer a complete service.

I need to make a PCB shortly (next month or so), I could be a guinea pig?
