Re: Newbee, Laser Machining Anyone?

I just subscribed to this list.

I built a 2ft x2ft 3 axix desktop router/CNC machine a few years back when
not much info was published. I am using a 3 axix 2 amp controller from
Camtronics Inc, along with some steppers I also purchased from the same
company.

I am quite please at the precicion I have been able to achieve. My various
projects range from simple engravings to complex aluminum molds for making
small plastic injection parts on a small tabletop injection molding machine,
I also built recently.

Although my applications are mostly related to developing micro radio and
infra red helicopters (see my web page below for more details) which used
simple machined parts, I have been contemplating upgrading my 3 axis machine
with a laser head for more "clean-cut" parts and faster production.

Has anyone on this list experimented or built a CNC desktop machine with a
laser head?

TIA
