Macon Innovations 228 Posted March 18, 2016 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... 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted March 18, 2016 Beautifully done I bet they are/ will love it. A laser is so universale. Have you cut aluminum shapes out with it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rlvied 292 Posted March 18, 2016 Nice work Macon. they should like that. I agree with Topper, if I had one there would be no dust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted March 18, 2016 blew the dust off? If I had a laser cutter/etcher i'd be using it non stop! what kind of laser do you have? and looks awesome by the wayI 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.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macon Innovations 228 Posted March 19, 2016 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.... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=371269684767&alt=web 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
