Electronic – Methods of sliding PCB in straight line on drill press

You transfer the image onto the dull side, place that in contact with the copper, and iron on the other side placing a plain sheet of paper between the iron and the P&P stuff. Here is a non-hacked web page.

Members of the Homebrew PCB Yahoo group have found that shiny magazine paper works just as well as that expensive Press and Peel material, and costs nothing, just use sheets from an old magazine. I've tried both, and can confirm that. Moreover, you don't have to worry about which side is which! :) I get much better results using transparencies printed on an inkjet printer with the conventional photo-etch process using precoated positive resist boards.

None that I know of. 15+ years ago I also worked for a small engineering firm that did what you described above. Today, in my basement, I can layout PC boards with free or low cost software, generate a Gerber file, email those files to a circuit board house and have boards made for less than $3/sq in with better quality that I can dream of doing. Mask and silkscreen are typically included for the same price. Turnaround is between 5-15 working days depending on how much you want to pay.

It's no longer reasonable to make PC boards yourself unless you need turnaround time measured in minutes. It's so cheap that if you place a reasonable value on your time, you lose money doing it onsite.
