Context
We currently have an industrial Laser Cutter: #70
It's been an awesome intro to CNC and both quieter and way more energy efficient than a CNC Router.
We've used the Laser over the last few months for mini-projects:
e.g: coat rack, vinyl-record-carry-storage-box and LuchoTurtle/diy-battery
We have come to the painful realisation that we aren't going to laser-cut the furniture we need to build for
@home
...The maximum plywood material thickness we can reliably cut is
10mm
and the burn marks are a pain.In the short-run we will get around this max thickness constraint by gluing 2 pieces of
10mm
together to make20mm
which will be more durable.But this doesn't get around the issue of burn marks ... 🔥
The way we have been solving this in our mini-projects is using a random orbital sander.
But it ends up being a lot of "finishing" work and the end result is still not great.
It's "OK" for workshop, DIY and MVP pieces
but it's very far from the high-end IKEA/Habitat quality I want for our furniture.

For the uninitiated, in the world of CNC Routers, watch April Wilkerson's CNC Shop Tour | My CNC Business: https://youtu.be/pn6vUag_mHo

This is an incredibly good value price for this machine.
Opening this issue to float the idea of buying one.

It won't fit in our Garage in town. I'm thinking
