    Converting Shark Pro CNC router to laser engraver

    Where might I find a laser cutter/engraver to use in place of a rotary router on my CNC? I know I can play around with laser pointers, but I want something more dependable, not just a burning toy.

    I don't need anything for metal, just to do some good engraving in wood parts. The resolution on my Shark Pro seems fine, if I can just get a laser setup for it.

    Thanks.

    If it's any help to you this is what I did last year to my router. Tweakie.CNC - CO2 Laser Cutting.

    Tweakie.
    CNC is only limited by our imagination.
