400mW Infrared 980nm laser module /focusable/CNC [OL-980-0.4] - $105.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
To start, let me say that I am a complete laser NOOB. Ive done alot of research and come up with more confusion then information haha.
SO, I have a cnc router now. Its one I built and I am very confortable with CNC and its workings. For fun, Id like to add a laser to it because, well just because So Im looking for a low power contained unit to add to the machine. The goal is to burn wood, cut paper, and maybe then plastic or acrylic. Although acrylic may be out of reach and Im ok with that.
Im not looking for it to be fast or even cut all the way though wood, so would a laser like this one work well for what I am trying to achieve?
I am also looking at this one 150mW Industrial Red laser dode module/TTL [OLGLM150] - $28.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce Based off the info on Tweakie.CNC - Low Power Lasers
Any help is greatly appreciated. Also if anyone knows where I could get something like these from the US that would be awesome.
