Are you saying that I CAN'T make a PCB faster than this micro machine!? Oh, we are ON!
But seriously, it would be very difficult to manually mill a complex PCB. That is one thing that this Othermill does well as it's CNC right out of the box. However, for the amount of PCBs most teams do I would find it hard to justify such a purchase. If they want PCBs, OshPark has less than a week turnaround, or teams can just buy a Shapoko. It's around 1/6th the cost and has a much larger build volume.
As for portability... I don't see why you would want that other than as a pit gimmick.
