Hey there. Been working with lasers for about 3 years now but new to the K40. Came across a super good deal that was too good to pass up. Current laser experience with the Glowforge Pro and GCC, so I am curious to see what I can do the K40 60w. Already ran into some issues with the K40 but have them worked out now. Just picked up a rotary attachment to give it a try. If anyone has suggested upgrades, please share.

Welcome Dustin- I googled both GCC and Glowforge as I have heard of them but no details- looks like they are both CO2 lasers [GCC has a 12w tube?] so you should have no problems adapting to your new machine. I know the K40 is often modified and I am sure some of our good people can chime in on that. Gene
