Hi,
I'm thinking of experimenting a bit with a fiber laser for my CNC-machine, it would be nice to have a laser that I could temporarily clamp on to my bigger CNC-machine that doesn't require a dust free environment like the CO2's I have and takes less place.
I would like to try a near IR like 804/808nm or 980nm but the problem is often that they come with just a fiber connector and fiber and no optics.
For example for these diodes:
3W 980

15W 803-813

Are there any good sources for lenses that you know of? Or is it not worth the effort trying to do this on a budget?
If anyone have a 3-15W fiber diode laser including fiber and lens for sale at a reasonable price feel free to PM me!
