Welcome Andrew. There are a few of your country men in this forum - one of the modertor is from "Shipwreck Coast, Victoria" not sure what proximity that may be to you but he is currently building a laser cutter now "Tim Mellor "

Hi Andrew welcome along. Fairly well into the planning and buying process for a self build Laser in the DIY section so feel free to join in.

@Pete about 2500km (1500 miles) away from here so a packed lunch and a couple of coffees

pete i am on the gold coast so about 2 or so hour flight from vic .......tim i will check out your build i am keen to start one just not sure on size yet.

My renter has a Hass similar to the one you mention and a couple that are not as wide. Very capable machines and Hass has it's own Formula One team... really missing the F1 season here.
