Home Made CNC/Laser Cutter


Recommended Posts

Hi David.

I concur with FlyinFlynn.

With Dremel CNC you do have more options for cutting. I tend to use the laser (5w) for cutting soft to medium balsa and thin ply.

For thicker or hard balsa stock, I cut half way with the laser and finish off with a knife.

For ply (and some hard, thick balsa) I switch to the dremel using a 1mm bit.

I have a vinyl cutter so have not used the Dremel CNC for this.

Hi Geoff.

 

Im doing a composite CNC build using a cheap ebay extruded section laser together with the dremel CNC Z axis, however do you have a cad model for the laser mount into the z Carriage? Would be great if you did so I dont have to take the z off everytime I want to use the laser.

 

Cheers

 

Mark
