I'm looking to possibly build a 40 Watt co2 laser cutter/engraver. This will be a very slow project as I acquire the bits and pieces I need over an extended period of time (pension). Were I to have the spare $5K+ laying around I'd just buy one but I don't. The unit will be capable cutting of 600x400 sized material.

Does anyone have experience building such a beast and any pointers on what to do and what not to do?


Thanks!
