Meh, burns through 2x4's nicely-
The large diameter holes are from my Ho:YAG head, which works pretty well on electrical tape
Also can burn through ATX power supplies, this picture is taken from the non-laser side, of the sparks that came out the back.

ooooh, very nice!
I'm looking for a small YAG to do material processing on my cnc machine, mainly engraving of metal (al & fe) and maybe some cutting of thin sheet or pcb copper. Any tips on what to look for/surplus stuff to sell?
