    DIY Build - CO2 laser

    Hey guys

    Are there any good sources for laser builds and the wiring plans etc? It's not rocket science buy I want to see how water flow protection is incorporated as an example

    Normally there is a switch on the water that drives some terminal to ground or high on the power supply. Like a safety switch on the door. If during the cut the water stops then the beam stops. On my machine the controller would keep going. Chillers have this output. Just pull up a the terminal diagram on a laser power supply.
