Hi All,

I've not even built my CNC router yet, yet ideas for it's use keep banging around my head. I've seen the work a laser can do in the surface of wood and I love it, it instantly reminded me of the Pyrography work an Uncle of mine used to do. Although I have seen all types of laser do this, I'm no electronics expert and the thought of adding one is too daunting for me and will probably remain so.

However, I've seen CNC machines used with pens, so it seems logical for me that someone has replaced the pen with a Pyrograph at some point. Anyone tried this or is interested in trying this? I'd love to see the results and understand the pitfalls as I'm bound to give it a go when I get my machine built!

Cheers,
Geoff.
