Tools of the trade / Re: Cutting mylar stencils with a silohuette cameo
I have built a laser stencil cutter attachment for my desktop mill.  It is working rather well:
budgetlightforum (dot) com / node / 24997 # comment - 519440  (please reformat the link...  trying to get around the newbie spam detector).

I have also written a program that reads and translates between the control languages of around 50 different CNC mills plus DXF/Gerber/HPGL/etc  It can also do things like produce an optimized cutting path for 2D programs.  The stencil shown above was generated from an Eagle Gerber file and translated by my program to Mach3 which my mill runs on.

I would like to add some GPGL support to the program but don't have any way of generating/verifying GPGL files right now.  Can somebody post a sample Graphtec stencil file (like of Peter Monta's test pattern).

Here is a test stencil that has some DFN20 packages on it (sorry for the bad focus... it's all my camera will do):
