Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] High press. or Laser

Jon, and the other laser experts:

I hope I am not amiss in shortening the thread title, but it really seems
like you all are now talking about lasers, not high pressure water jet
cutting anymore.

I have stayed out of this thread because I know nothing about lasers, except
some very basic theory.

Can people really put together laser systems in their home shops?

I have heard that the power supply needs are really challenging. Large
capacitors etc. Can big capacitors be homemade if the physical size of the
system is not an important factor?

How much do you think would it cost to be able to do engraving in wood, or
build a 50 or 100 watt system like the one you saw, Jon?

Although I love creative machinery, I am not sure I could market the things
it could do anyway, but I thought I would ask the above questions anyway.
