Hey Everyone ... sorry if my question has been answered before, i triede to do a serach.
I am a total newbie to cnc, i just bought a step-four ( basic 540 ) cnc machine, and i would like to change the router ( the engraving head / tool ) with a laser one. i am not interessted in some expensive CO2 laser og plasma, since i'am only cutting light materials as paper sheets, basla, and other thin materials. so i guess a laser diod ( powefull enough .. though ) can make the work .. am i right ?
What is your advice ? what kind of laser should i buy ? what about the laser modul, should i buy it or just connect the laser head to "router" ( tool ) module ?
sorry for such basal questions, but as i mentioned i am total new to cnc, and i will appreciate any help .. thank you
