Can it cut wood, and if so does it burn the edges? balsaman 03-30-2003, 04:02 PM Hi, Yes it can cut wood. It leaves a bit of black colored charing on the edges. It really does an beautiful job. Here is a picture of some lasercut balsa from one of the kits I sell. Eric cncman 03-30-2003, 05:50 PM Very nice, what are the kits you sell? balsaman 03-30-2003, 06:55 PM Model Aiplane kits. www.e-zflight.com Eric cncman 03-31-2003, 12:33 AM Nice planes, always wanted to get into R/C, are they hard to fly? balsaman 03-31-2003, 12:51 AM That's a good, and very common question. The answer is yes and no. Yes if you have never flown one, no if you have had lots of practice. To fly one you usually need to be trained by an instructor. This is almost always included in the price of membership at a local R/C club. Most clubs have volunteer instructors. Eric CNCadmin 04-03-2003, 10:38 AM How much power is need to cut through 1/4"- 1/2" hardwood? balsaman 04-05-2003, 02:52 PM Probably 100 watts. The more power, the faster you can cut. A 30 watt laser works for balsa and thin plywood. Eric ggpipe 04-06-2003, 03:02 AM Where can you get a 100 watt cutting laser and how much are they? I know the turn-key CNC laser systems are very expensive, but I was wondering how much of that cost is the laser itself. balsaman 04-07-2003, 07:15 AM I am not sure. I know they are expensive. The odd time they show up on ebay. Eric CNC Pro 04-08-2003, 08:43 AM As the owner of a Digital Tool 900 series machine, I'm wondering if a laser could be added to this machine, how much $$, and what sort of capabilties I could expect from it? balsaman 04-09-2003, 08:46 PM Here is one company that sells CO2 lasers that can be fitted to existing equipment. http://www.coherentinc.com/Products/index.cfm?fuseaction=Interfaces.ProductLine&PCID=23&PLID=38 Most lasers are turnkey and come with everything you need. here are some preowned ones: http://www.epiloglaser.com/preowned.htm Eric HomeCNC 04-10-2003, 10:59 AM The price of a laser capable of cutting balsa or 1/64 ply is just way to high for me to even consider it! Did you purchase one? If so you would need to sell alot of model kits to pay it off. balsaman 04-10-2003, 04:32 PM No, I don't have one. I send my kits out to be cut. Too expensive to own one. Eric happytriger2000 11-20-2004, 07:56 PM Halo everyone, have you guys heard of Torchmate laser system?is it good? Freeman kanankeban 11-29-2004, 12:50 AM No, I don't have one. I send my kits out to be cut. Too expensive to own one. Eric Hi Eric, How much do you pay for the inch?
