Re: OT - who has used PCB-pool?

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Keith,

I have had boards made by them that are smaller than the 100 x 100mm that the PCB-POOL states. You can lump in 2 boards to make up the minimum size a= s
they only quote on the total area and you pay a single routing (cutout)
price for the lot. I always find talking to them to be a good start as they=
are very helpfull and accomodating.

They also have the PCB-Series which is very cost effective for larger
quantities. You can also call them and get a quote for anything non-standar= d
with their series. I did this once when I need a board made that was gold plated on both sides and they turned out to be =A3100 cheaper than any of m= y
usual suppliers.

Regards
Dave...
PS.. They now offer single sided PCB's as part of the pool.
