Damn! Never thought of this…!
Aluminium angles, or even superstruts rails as a laser bed… brilliant!
I’ve seen somewhere you can build an air assist from a fan blower, this may be easier to install and control…
That’s part of the dilemna…
The way I see it:
- either go “cheap” with a diode laser mounted on the LR3. With an appropriate mount it’s pretty easy to mount/unmount really, and you get a gigantic work area (think giant cardboard cutouts for the kids at halloween ;)). You will need to create some kind of enclosure though (btw, did you see mine ;))
- or go “all in”, and then, just buy a dedicated CO2 laser… for cutting it will be a lot more appropriate
