Geoff Gardiner Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 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.

David perry 1 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I'm most impressed. Will you be offering rib sets for a price, to offset your own build costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Turner 12 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 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.

Geoff Gardiner Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi Mark, Would an STL file of the mount be any use to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Turner 12 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 That sounds perfect so I can print it. I will send you a private message, unless you want to post it on thingiverse many thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
