Laser Cutter?

1

Hello all,
wondering if a laser cutter can be attached to the cnc Router I got?

looking to expand the business more with a laser cutting / etching option as well, and curious if there are any lasers out there that people have used on their cnc tables… or if i need to go out and get a laser cutter machine and table as well. thank you so much!

A number of folks have done this, and there are even some kits: https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Laser_Cutter

Totally possible.

From a time is money perspective however, get a dedicated laser machine with fume extraction.
Less setup time, less hassle and the Xcarve won’t be occupied when running laser.
