There are several Chines systems (Jcut) - less than $4000 BUT - they use proprietary windoze stuff and a dongle - no Linux support. Anyone know of something similar that is Linux based? ( I no longer run ANY Windoze systems)
(It has occurred to me that the internal controller might be EMC in their firmware...) http://cgi.ebay.com/CO2-Laser-Engraver-laser-engraving-machine-laser-cutter_W0QQitemZ110411431386QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b508bdda Be aware that if you order it from China - it is sort of a kit - I've heard of them new and not working - there is supposed to be a guy in Canada that sells them assembled and working. Anyone here working on such things? Or has tied these into EMC? OR links that I haven't found? The core hardware - a CO2 LASER and a light weight X-Y - is not expensive - safety interlocks - tying it all together, exhaust systems is the hitch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail k...@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
