Class 4 Burning, Cutting Lasers Note: This tube is included in the LABURN20 kit and assembled laser, so you do not need to purchase it separately if you are buying the LABURN20 or 2K. But it's also available here separately if you need just the tube itself, for building your own design or as a replacement. High efficiency laser diodes can produce up to 2 watts at wavelengths of .6 to over 1 micron, multi or single mode. The carbon dioxide experimental laser is built from readily available parts and pieces. System advantages are low cost and versatility. System is classified as a class 4 laser product and is labelled accordingly with all the necessary compliances as dictated by the NCDRH. System is an axial flow water cooled design with external fittings for experimental gas mixtures. Output is more than sufficient for wood engraving, plastic and textile cutting as well as materials research. Purchase of the kit includes all basic machining where assembly involves simple construction techniques.
CNC Pattern Directories -ToolsToday.com- CNC Vector Art Directory CNC Vector Art Pattern Directories The technological advancements in CNC machining over the past decade have increased the popularity of the tool exponentially. Now, CNC users range from Fortune 500 companies to the woodworker or machinist at home. Because of the increase in popularity, the need for CNC templates has exploded. ToolsToday has launched a directory of vector art for CNC machines so that users can find all of their favorite vector art for CNC router bits in one place. What Makes a Good CNC Template? Win a $25 coupon to ToolsToday by submitting a link to CNC template. If it is included in our directory, we will send you a $25 gift card to Toolstoday. The preferred file format for CNC templates is a .DXF file. CNC machines open up a world of possibilities, so make sure you have the latest bits, tools, and templates for your next project.

The Whiskey Treats Sam's Laser FAQ - Home-Built Nitrogen (N2) Laser Back to Home-Built Nitrogen (N2) Laser Sub-Table of Contents . Other Examples of Home-Built N2 Lasers Well, this one probably wasn't actually built at a home but close enough. :) The following is from a paper by Bruno Godard entitled: "A Very Simple High Power Large Efficiency N2 Laser", May 1973. Note that I don't know of anyone duplicating these results. Notable physical features of this design include: A parabolic shape for the primary capacitor electrode (the one with the spark gap) to create a linear excitation of the laser channel that moves with the speed of light. A longer cavity than that of the SciAm laser (almost double). A suggestion to use a dual electrode configuration for higher power (split the bottom plate of the capacitor as well as the top one). (From: Jon Singer, of the Joss Research Institute.) "I have seen at least one other design in which they ran the 'electrodes-on-bottom-as-well-as-on-top' thing, and got more power. The most significant by far is (1). Overall - M. R.
The Devil Makes Three Lasersaur Lasersaur The Lasersaur is an open source laser cutter. We designed it to fill the need of makers, artist and scientist who wanted a safe and highly-capable machine. Unlike others it comes fully loaded with knowledge to run, maintain, and modify. Since its conception, Nortd Labs and the Lasersaur community has generated knowledge to develop a comprehensive system. How can you Contribute? Unlike software, hardware RD is costly even when living off of Ramen. Short on cash? $32 Beta Access: Support the project and get full access to design documents, community (mailing list), and software before the project goes fully open source. $(any) Project Support: Simply want to support the project?
