Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has created a 100W 808nm laser for cutting?

You can get a 808nm laser diode for ~$100, so it seems like it would be a good deal, and would last a long time vs a CO2 or other gas lasers. You could mount it directly on the Z axis, and would just need to focus the laser. Could be stackable as well.

Any thoughts? Has anyone done this yet?
Thanks,
Dave
