Laser Cutting

Prior to my purchase of a laser cutter in March 2009 I scoured the web for information, hints and tips on using one, etc. Although I found a few scattered snippets of information there was no sign of the body of useful information that I had hoped for. So I created this section of my website in order to keep an up to date summary of what I've learned about my laser cutter, from my first impression onwards. They are still a work in progress but I hope these pages will turn into the useful body of information that I'd have liked to be able to find to get me started.

Links

The pages about my laser cutter have links to a number of sites where I've obtained software, parts, etc. It'd be pointless to list them again here, out of context, however there are a couple of sites that I do want to bring your attention to here:

The first is the Laser Cutting & Engraving Machine forum at CNCZone. There is some useful info scattered amongst the forum threads.

The second is imajeenyus where a guy who asked me a few questions about my machine before taking the plunge himself, is quickly overtaking me in terms of the interesting things he's done with it, especially his modifications to the basic spec. Check it out.
