$60 Laser Engraver / Cutter
Instructable posted by
cgosh
I drool on my keyboard when I look at those fancy laser cutter/engravers
that cost $$thousands, so I figured out how to make one for $60. That's

My design is not EXACTLY like the multi-$1,000 models, but it will let
you do a lot of the same work. Figure on 'manual' rather than

cutters work by directing a very powerful laser beam, at a precise focal
length, onto a material which they either cut or etch, depending on how
the laser cutter has been set up. Laser cutters cut materials similarly
