Health and safety warning: High powered lasers are dangerous. Laser cutting can be hazardous to your health. Always wear laser safety goggles while operating laser equipment. Respiratory protection is recommended during laser cutting/engraving operations.

Although the MPCNC is not a perfect laser cutter platform (due to its high mass, and relatively underpowered control board), this video may be helpful to other garage CNC enthusiasts who are looking to build their own laser cutters.
