Homebrew Laser Cutter made by Zach Radding

Step 3 The second lasercutter

Zach and Taylor show us the second version of the lasercutter.
Version one worked fine, but some movers used it as a box to ship a rabid coyote they thought was a pet of his.
The poor animal totally trashed the machine before it got out and bit Dick Cheney in the woods near D.C.
By then Zach had acquired a heavy x-y stage and thought he'd try a different design.
This version moves the workpiece rather than the laser beam. The major advantage of this scheme
are very simple optics. The optics consist of a single mirror that points the laser beam down through the focusing lens.

If Zach builds another machine he says he'll make it more like the first one. Let's look into the guts of this one first.
