Here are some of mine (done on a LPKF, using EAGLE for layout and LPKF's "CircuitCam 3.2" for isolation and milling)

Re: CNC milling machines for fabricating PCBs?
Big, noisy, expensive, vacuum cleaner attached to the milling head in the case of the LPKF... Ideally, most of your dust is COPPER rather than fiberglass, but an advantage of such a machine (over, say, laser-cutting resist followed by conventional etching) is that you can also cut your PCB into complex shapes really easily. Here's an example:how do they avoid getting Fiberglas dust -everywhere-?
