Laser Cutter in Ilkeston

[grant gibson]

Guys,

Just come across this laser cutter that is in Ilkeston, I know it is quite large but should we consider getting it given it is just down the road ?

Regards

I think it would be useful to have one given the amount of use the one at the SM got.  Whether this one is right or not I would have to leave to "those that know”. 

I would assume the Comms Museum would be happy to install it there but we would need to think about insurance, risk to the Museum and an alternative location if we need to move it at any time.

I could see a use for the Museum in making perspex stands for exhibits.  In that case there might be a synergy (if thats the right word)

It has a height and a 'just able bed', wouldn't it be better to get one that is 'comfortably able'? ;)

What power was the Silk Mill laser for comparison?

80w I think?

I believe the Silk Mills Laser was a 120w Reci CO2 tube.

Mine is 90w and is fine. It will pretty much everything we need, just slower.

I think this a good bed size. We would need to establish how much space we can allocate for the laser cutter. We have started planning the workshop I think this is worth further discussion. And potentially work out a sensible offer, if appropriate.

Yes the Silk Mill is 120W but like Morgan's mine is more like 80W and absolutely fine for 99% of general Maker needs. You just just need to slow it down a little on thicker material.
