Support Guides
If you’re just starting out with the Othermill, Othermill Pro, or Bantam Tools Desktop PCB Milling Machine, or need tips, we’ve created a large number of support guides to help you out. Browse all of them using the menu on the left side of this page, or read on for some suggested topics.
Getting Started
Welcome to your mill! Find out about unboxing and basic setup, then get milling with the three Bantam Tools Getting Started Projects, which ship with every Bantam Tools™ Desktop PCB Milling Machine. These three projects cover all the basics of using the milling machine, and provide a great overview of the workflow. If you don’t have the project components (maybe you’re using a milling machine at a makerspace), you can order complete kits from us.
Even if you don't ever make the projects, it's still a good idea to read through these tutorials. After reading through the tutorials, the next step is to read through our Operating The Mill articles.
