Time for another CNC toy

This is my first post. I've been lurking around for the last couple of weeks. I'm very impressed by Bart's designs and this support group. Last year I built a MechMate (http://www.mechmate.com) CNC machine and I love it - see pic below. Here's is a video of my MM in action here: http://www.radishworks.com/CNCCutting.php

I've always wanted a laser CNC machine too. I stumbled on buildlog.net and I'm hooked on building CNC machine #2. Lots of 2.X parts ordered and I've been using the MechMate to cut 2.X parts. Here's the first batch of parts off the MechMate.

Today I picked up the Alu(type)Panel material from a local sign maker. He asked why I had a CNC machine, my answer - "to make a laser CNC cutter" :D.

Happy building and thanks to Bart and everyone else here!
