Well, my interest in lasers has been a long time coming.
About 8 weeks ago, I bought a barely used K40 blue and white. It sat in my garage for a few weeks before I started playing with it (i.e. aligning the mirrors and lens).
Once I did, I was hooked by the potential.
Since then, I bought another K40 with the intentions of heavily modifying it.
Then, just a few days ago, I bought a large 700mm x 500mm Red and Black 60w laser. It is used, but seems to have been very well taken care of.
Putting the other K40s back together and will be selling those....or keeping. You just never know when you may need a back up.
Cheers,
Chad

Gene,

He is a very strange performer. Well worth it though.
