Very nice

A 50W CO2 laser significantly outperforms a 50W diode laser in cutting speed and material capability (especially clear acrylic and thick wood) due to its wavelength and higher thermal efficiency. While 50W diodes offer high-detail, low-maintenance, and cost-effective engraving, CO2 lasers are generally faster for cutting, with a 50W CO2 often providing twice the effective power in practice.

what do you consider to be a regular laser cutter? Co2 is pretty much the standard in laser cutters. Cost to replace a tube is between 2 and 400$ pretty cheap for another 10000 hrs of work. My machine was around 7000 new in 2012 and as far as I know the tube still has life in it

The co2 is in the tube inside the laser housing, after about 10000 hrs of use the co2 runs out and the tube must be recharged or replaced

I have a 60 watt co2 24x15 bed w/9" z axis Have used it in a couple yrs just sittin here collecting dust.

Getting old sucks plain and simple, the sad part is your mind is still 20 something. I gave up my big laser and bought a small diode which is fine. I am having a little learning curve but I'll get it figured out.The other thing about getting old is all the dam dr and hospital bills. SS and Insur don't cover it all.

250th fob and temporary fix for the N Paint job needs work my hands arn't to steady LOL

Yep nice going

Gezzer Their lapel pins I bought ,They're pinned and cemented to the fob

Thanks every one,I'm trying to fix the N, but I'm having a hard time with it. I so have some 250 pins that I'll put on some.

I haven't posted anything in a long while, kinda been taking a break. I was running out of key fobs I pass out to Veterans I run into while out and about. This is the start of a new batch.

When I said You Rock, I was referring to the Lady shooter. Leather work is pretty good too

awesome

WoW!! Very nice
