offlist CCED Huh?!?!? Re: OT: lasers... so many different types????

Tim,

What?!?!? Nearly every message in this thread has to do specifically
with a laser FOR USE WITH CNC FOR CUTTING BALSA... I can find only
one message in the thread which doesn't DIRECTLY mention cnc uses, or
at least imply it(the recent one about 1/4 steel; and even that is
likely for a plasma-like cnc machine!)

The message you chose to "moderate"(based on your subject heading)
was simply a person finding that he had much to learn, and asking
guidance... Did you forget he was trying to cut balsa with cnc?!?

This reminds me why I left active involvement in the group before...
Seems beginners and non-pros are treated with disrespect. Not
everyone uses geckos, and bridgports...

Offlist as requested, but simmering,

Ballendo
