Laser engraver

Post by AZ_guy »

Has anyone heard of a laser engraver attachment that could go on a CNC plasma table? I have a shop Sabre 4x4 table and love it but I’d love the the option to do laser engraving without needing to buy another machine.

Actually I guess I don’t know if I mean more mean laser etching or laser engraving. I want the ability to mark a logo on metal. Almost like one of those dog tag machines

You will need a fiber laser not a CO2 laser. You can use a product like Cermark to fuse an image onto metal with a CO2 laser will not etch or cut metal like a fiber laser can.

Here is one brand and their info... https://www.xtlaser.com/what-material-w ... g-machine/
