We are making excellent progress with the laser cutter, it has now been fitted with many interlocks and safeguards to prevent accidental exposure to the laser when it is operating, and to obscure all those places where you could previously peek inside.<br>
<br>
We have one more safeguard to complete, which will ensure that the water cooling is operating before you can fire the laser, which is for it's protection more than ours.<br>
<br>
Once this is complete and we update the various safety notices we should be able to run some real jobs through it, and give training to the very keenest of members. The software to drive it is still the supplied windows tool, and is therefore not the easiest to work with, but we will be replacing the control electronics and offering a more familiar interface to it in the near future, we just wanted to get the device operational as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
Can people please login to the website and vote on the courses they would most like to see so that we can prepare notes and materials.<br>
