Getting ahead of myself - using a pyrograph in a CNC router

[Jonathan]

First result on google for 'CNC pyrograph':

CNC pyrography computer-aided - YouTube

So it has been done. Perhaps have the tip spring loaded to apply a more constant force if the surface of the material is uneven?

If you buy the laser and PSU etc together then it can't be that hard to wire up - I'm sure we can work it out. Clearly that's a lot more expensive than the soldering iron(?) used in the video.

Just put a very very knackerd cutter in the spindle and you'll get that same burnt look. . LMAO.

Thanks Jonathan,

Thats cool! Very slow when compared to a laser, but very effective! I will have to try this, I have a Pyrograph somewhere, bought it years ago and never got very far!

Cheers,
Geoff.
