We're almost done with our CNC machine (all major purchases are made, just need to finish constructing). I got to thinking that it would be nice to also have this machine do laser cutting as well (there is a local company that outsources they PCB etching to an out of state company that I'm sure we could do with our machine if it had a laser cutter).

What would I need to consider to add a laser cutter to my machine? Where would I find the best solution? What complications can arise (other than the danger of working with a laser)? I don't even know what to search for (all I find is complete tables for sale, not just the laser), any help is appreciated.
