I need a laser diode for engraving in wood. I have been looking in eBay, but I mostly see either ~300mW diodes or something priced over 1K $, which exceeds my budget ten times. There was also one seller with 20W diodes for a reasonable price, but he could not provide any information about the laser diode - what is included in package and characteristics of the output beam. Basically I am looking for something no more than 10W, most probably that would be something less than that, because budget is small. So yes - I expect that it would work relatively slowly. The requirement is the ability for user to engrave his logo on plywood, before parts are cut out on router. I would appreciate, if someone would point me to a source of lasers that I could use for engraving the wood. Thanks in advance!
