All the more fun, eh? For the power supply, you could use a flyback transformer from an old CRT. Using a KSE13009 transistor from Fairchild in the flyback circuit, you'd get about 18-20kv. Good luck to whomever tries this. *aah! my eyes!*

About your mini mill, you might want to check out, if you haven’t already:

CNCzone has forums in which a lot of people moding X2s for CNC. The X2s and X3s, are reputed to be good mills, once cleaned and tweaked.

They have a nice site with mini-mill and mini-lathe notes setup and comments. They also have a review of the belt-drive kit.

You might want to check out the X2 belt drive kits. I saw a second belt drive kit on cnczone, too.

As far as lasers, SAM’s laser FAQs is probably the best laser start here page out there:

It must have been months now since you got that baby

I realize that you also have another baby of about the same vintage, but you should learn to share you time more fairly ;-)
