You do now realise that I am, again, looking for a laser cutter. Anyone got one for sale?

I was looking at the Epilog one on eBay as I want one with a rotary attachment, but Southampton is WAY to far to travel!

How is it at wood? I love the look of the very first LED Bulbdial clock, the way the edges of the parts are burnt.

That Epilog is from the same guy I got this one from.

I would get it but the tube recharges are way way way too expensive!!!!

Wood is fine. Never cut any and i think you need laser ply. Less funny stuff in it when it burns.

It is Infra-red, so invisible. You only see stuff getting burnt. The red dot is just for alignment and totally harmless.
