You can try a bigger "7"watt output sold as a "30" watt module. These are great on cutting small pieces. You can get them for under 200$ anywhere on ali express or Amazon

I have one of these duel heads in a machine. It will write on a stone and cut like advertised. O was also able to mark stainless steel razor blades using just the laserby itself.

What is the purpose of the circle? Why can't you use a scanning laser from a dj's party machine?

Lol, Ill send my husband. That's what he did for the power company.

I'm going to give a couple Asian built 30 watt portable CNC machines a try in the near future as well. One will have an open gantry so i can just move the whole thing around with the material spread out on the bench. I'm sure i will have about 8 watt output as well. The other will be a closed...

Your hand won't be steady enough at that distance. Try a rock or small weight and string. Toss the weight up at your target and try to snag it. Or practice throwing a football at it. That worked for me. That said, Even if you did try to use the laser pointer, you would burn it out trying.

Nope. Two problems: divergence and size. That said even if you did it just wouldn't be safe. Any sniper knows a laser gives you away so your target might shoot you first

I'm going to try out a desktop CNC from Ali express. I know a lot of the modules described as 15 watt or 10 watt have an out put of 4 or 5 watt. I know this will cut 5 mm in three passes Has anyone tried any of the fat ones that are marked 30 watts. These are new. The video shows it cutting...

I looked at these. I can't operate this in a regular job site without some kind of shroud . i found another enclosed baby cnc for about $328 by Yanee in China. And they also sell a pantograph open like yours for about the same as yours. Im trying to source a protective box you could just place...

First thing that came to mind. Keep the baking soda handy in case one bleeds on you. In the video watching that drumstick being burned with acid made my skin crawl. That needs to be included into OSHA safety classes

I would hire the shirtless hunk but you can hire who you'd like

With the money you'd spend on a laser system to top off your trees, you are better off hiring a shirtless hunky tree man with a bucket lift truck. At least you won't risk starting a fire or injuring an airline pilot.

So basically I could have a laser assisted plasma cutter CNC. Now I need someone to build a prototype

How about a jet of oxygen? Or Brown's Gas? This isn't for precision work. My intention is to give the metal a rustic look like a plasma cutter or small torch was used. I'm just making the pierced tin lamp shades. If I can cut 18 guage or 1/8th that would be great too.

I want to develop a cutter for Home use that is less than 500 to manufacture. I seen a few hobby platforms that are great for craft work but won't cut metals. Perhaps if we can design the head and power supply, the cnc part is already done save some retrofitting

Fudge! I was hoping for a more rugged system that can take a bit of abuse in the shop. If this can't be tamed down to 1/16 then it wouldn't be worth persuading

Oh my God! That is awesome. Tinker with the optics and cooling, and you got yourself a great laser for small CNC that cuts or etches thin metals, stone etc and put the smaller glass tube lasers out of business.

Wrong type of mole. You are thinking of Caddy Shack.

Zapping a mole or wart to taking out an appendix is quite a jump. It is like going from hanging a small shelf on the wall to building Charte's Cathedral. Some tasks you might want to let the experts tackle. But on the other hand, they sell chain saws to home owners but most homeowners are wise...

They actually them on EBay and other sites. But should you choose to use it on yourself, you are on your own. I was advocating use the right tool for the right job. You wouldn't use a hammer for a screwdriver would you? You could but you might not get the best results
