Laser SIG: Opt laser add-on to Shapeoko XL CNC

Alan introduced a secret guest speaker who had added a laser to his CNC. Ed Baize, leader of the CNC SIG, presented his Opt laser add-on to his Shapeoko XL CNC. Alan then continued with a discussion of his dual-power air compressor project and promised updates at the next meeting. We then went on to discuss the Print & Copy feature of LightBurn which allows laser cutting of objects much larger than a laser’s print bed if it happens to support passthrough material.

How am I just hearing about this? I really have been out of touch.

Tell me why I do not buy a shapeoko and a laser add on…
