Ye, looks like it's going to be plasma. I'll have to check out water cutters a bit more. Maybe theres a cheaper way to make it myself, as it only have to cut through 1mm steel.

Hmmm, maybe a water cutter would do it? I'll have to check the cost of this. The cnc machine is no problem. Already got taht. But I need a tool to cut with, that I can add to the cnc ;)

Thanks a lot fot the information guys :) But it's still a bit too much for me to play around with ^^ Guess I'll try out a plasmacutter instead. =)

Ok, he used about 1sec/cm for the 12mm. But anyways, I just need to cut through 1 mm.. Do i really need 1kW to do that? How much would that cost? If you where to say an estimate. :)

1 kW CO2? Hmm, didnt know it was soo tough to cut through 1mm steel(or less). Guess a laser like that wont be very cheap =) Probably better if I find a cheaper plasma then =/ At least while just playing around. Seen some nice plasmacutters for about 300$, which cut through 12mm steel like butter.

So, I was thinking about building a cnc machine, with a laser. First I thought of engraving, but now I'm thinking about a cutting laser. Basicly, I do some lockpicking for fun (no crimes), and I was thinking about how great it would be to have a machine to cut out picks for me/others.! So, my...

I use the standard kit-lense, yes :) No macro "lense" here, only the macro adapter thingy that I bought from DealExtreme.. :) It's a great buy, if you have enough light on the object.

you sure it wouldnt work? because I think mine are spinning a lot faster than it should, as I use 16V for it :P It gets hot after 30sec to a minute of spinning.. I know its not healthy for the fan, but thats what I got to try out the tunnel thingy ^^

Hey :) I use a Nikon D40 .. Bought it a couple of years back. Great camera for the price, and a lot of fun :) And sorry for breaking one of the diodes I got from you ^^ Told you I needed one mounted inside that aixis module.. :P Anyways, I learned the hard way. The first looks like its in...

Nice :) Will have to give that a try sometime :)

Re: NEW LPC-815 Sled DONE Thats great mate =D Thanks again for the deal. :)

Re: NEW LPC-815 Sled DONE ANd about my order, whats the status? =)

Nice =) Yeah, its really easy. If you now go ahead and plaze one more motor, or even 2 more (3 total) then you'll see some great effects.. :) Try reversing one of the 3 motors. If you use 2 motors I think they could go the same way. Not sure, as I havn't tried it yet. :) For smoke, you could...

HMm, how much is it for a set like that? =)

I used some smoke, yes :) Had an old smoke-machine I got for my birthday when I was a kid xD Still works, never actually used it :P My greene should be 50mW, but its from DealExtreme, and that particular laser have been tested lower than that. SO I would guess 40mW? Maybe a littlebit less...
