I'm new to the element14 community, but a long time follower of Ben Heck's DIY projects. The tool I am most jealous of in Ben's workshop is the large CNC laser cutter that he uses in a lot of his build videos. I've been looking to build one of these at some point because they get prohibitively expensive the larger the machine is. My only problems are the difficulties involved in planning out such a creation (aiming the laser and such). My challenge to the Ben Heck Show is to build a CNC laser cutter with close to a 3' x 3' cutting area. It would be a very useful tool.
