That is really neat. I can understand that you don't want to
waste your time answering questions that don't exist, BUT
there are a some of us out here that are so dumb on this that
we can't even ask an intelligent question. Like you pointing
out materials that can't be cut. Hopefully you can take a few
minutes and give us a quick run down of your machine and
what its capabilities are. $25 is within the budgets of most of
us, but I suspect there is many $1000s knowledge and equipment
backing that up. I see different power lasers with different 'chemistries'
and don't have a clue as to what the capabilities are. Will it cut
wood, cloth, plastic, or Titanium? I have an old Electron Drill (EDM)
machine that is strictly manual. Since it is not wire, and it does
have automatic feed, I have left it as is.
So, just a brief description of the capablities of the process would
help a lot of us decide whether we wanted to look further.
Yes, and power supply requirements for some of the different
wattage units.

Been there, done that. :-)

What do you want to machine? What size parts? What materials?
Give
me some more information before I go into a long discussion on what
you need and what can and can't be done. For example, you can't cut
brass, copper or aluminum with a CO2 laser, although you can cut
stainless and most steel.

Are you on a tight budget or do you have some $$$ to spend?

Here is my $25 CO2 laser cutter:
