Blew the dust off my Laser

[Macon Innovations 228]

One of my local Fire Departments wanted a dash piece to mount in one of the older Trucks....Sounded like a good chance to play with my laser...

Beautifully done I bet they are/ will love it. A laser is so universale. Have you cut aluminum shapes out with it?

Nice work Macon. they should like that. I agree with Topper, if I had one there would be no dust.

I only have a 50 watt C02 laser...It will not cut metal...If the metal is coated with anything it will usual etch away the coating though...

I use it pretty regularly..But my CNC router makes for a dusty environment even with its own encloser..It's a K40 clone off ebay....But the only part still original is the case....Has been completely updated with parts from Lightobject....

so would you say it is better to just buy a unit from lightobject than to start with the clone?  very cool

They don't have any machines under 5k....Well they didn't when I was looking...I have about 1600 tied up in mine all together...But I used it for a while before doing any upgrades...And with a $400 initial investment it paid for itself quickly..If I had to do it over again you can get a decent one off ebay for about 2k that has all the upgrades I did to mine and a slightly larger work area....
