i recieved an email from owen the other day:
fellow hackologists may be interested in a year and half long project of mine to build a computer controlled sheet metal cutting system. It uses a 100 watt CO2 industrial laser.
there are some videos on his site showing the co2 laser milling machine in action. it’s absolutely fantastic. just the control system itself is pretty intense. if you are interested in doing something like this, you should also check out his blog that chronicled the whole contruction.
i’m pretty sure i need one of these.
update: apparently i can’t spell (thanks pedant). i was thinking it was z for zippy.





Man ive been looking for something just like this for a while. This is gonna be Hella Fun!
