After milling the layout, you have your paths isolated from the rest of the board, that works, but aren't there any disadvantages of having so much copper around?You could easily short-circuit 2 of the pins if the soldered metal goes just a tiny bit beyond the cuts, right?
@poweredBYGDK Milling: Put copper board in machine. Secure to table. Export design from EAGLE to CNC program. Press GO! button. Wait for machine to finish using one bit. Change to drill. Change to milling bit. Seven steps.
Etching: Print out design, mirrored. Tape to Copper. Use iron to heat up toner. Let cool. Use water to remove paper. Use alcohol + brush to remove oxidation. Place in etchant. Agitate etchant. Rinse board of etchant. Drill Holes. Cut from excess copper board.
@poweredBYGDK I would say this is the safe way

What depth are you doing for the tracks? And it's a 30 degree engraving bit right?
