On a roll now! Thank you. I have been using the tools lately and have made some more small changes, but think I have introduce a few more bugs. I will try to update them and upload them here for others to try soon, Really. Promise. Soon. Whooooo! On a roll now!

I hoping to mill PCB with my CNC also using KiCad. I came across your blog after trying to make 'Etch_Z_adjust.py' working. Thanks for this effort. I am going to dig in...

(aside from spammers) My code is just a "wrapper" or "front end" for pcb2gcode. Apparently there is a bug in pcb2gcode. <a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/PCB_Milling#PCB-GCode" title="http://reprap.org/wiki/PCB_Milling#PCB-GCode" rel="nofollow"></a> I am in the US so do not work in metric, but I thought I tested it and it worked. I will take another look when I get a chance. I think most of the conversions are unit-less, so I think if you put metric in, output will be metric as well. You may just need to edit the preamble in the outputted G-code (G20/G21). The problem comes converting from one to another. I have found a other few bugs and made a few minor changes and will be posting an updated version soon. Thank you, for being the first to comment on the code and my blog! (aside from spammers)

Amazing piece of code you've put together, and I've made good use of it in some cases. However, I'm struggling with using metric system gerber files. Did you hard-code the unit system on some level? I've tried to find it, but without luck. Sincerely, Jonas Hi!

However, I’m struggling with using metric system gerber files.
