Testing laser cutting with a 5W blue laser diode on a 5 axis large CNC mill. The mill also has tool changing ( ATC ) but that is not implemented yet. The plan is to have the laser be one of the tools on the ATC carrousel ultimately.
This was done using a Smoothieboard v1.1, the XYZ axes are controlled by large servo drivers, while the AB axes are controlled by the Smoothieboard's A5984 drivers. This is using the CNC build, set up for 5 axes, with the laser module enabled.
