I'm building a cnc laser table for cutting sheet metal. I have a lot of the basic machinery and now I'm in the phase of wiring a lot of the systems together. I put together the following diagram to get a handle on what goes where and what needs to be ordered. I thought maybe people would find the diagram interesting

404 error on the PDF, but great diagram.

It's inspired me to do the same, also to catalog connections and settings, etc.

What thickness sheet metal do you plan to be cutting? Although I'm not familiar with Coherent sources, 100W doesn't sound like a lot. Wil you have height control on the cutting head?

He's got three motors... I guess one is for height.

I too will be interested in seeing the first sheet metal cut with his 100 watt co2 laser.
