    The seemingly endless journey to a CNC machine finally, well, ends

    Hey y'all!

    Been a long time since I last posted here, mainly due to the fact that I've only had one homemade tool in the works for the last 5 months.

    But here we are, emerging on the other side of this journey, now with a fully functioning CNC laser cutter/engraver from scratch! The idea was to build a laser tube from scratch, and mount said laser tube onto a CNC machine. And after many months of poor sleeping habits, I finally got to a place where I can call this project finished.

    now, full disclosure, I wound up installing a 100W sealed tube into the machine at the end of the build, for the sake of more power, but I did get the homemade tube to work enough for it to count in my book. either way, posted below is the final video, and the playlist with all the videos in the series.

    Thanks!

    That werewolf built a laser cutter!

    It's a thing of beauty man, well done. I've been subscribed to your Youtube channel for a while now and it's criminally underrated at only 7.7k subscribers.
