Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Laser Engraving

Whelen and Skulworks--

I may have some small CO2 lasers for sale cheap. I had a number of these
units removed from laser marking machines about a year ago--had one on my
CNC mill for a while--it would mark anodized alum very nicely and cut thin
carboard and balsa etc. Sold most of them but there are some left. If you
are interested, email me off-list. mtebob1 at sbcglobal dot net
