Hi I'm looking for a laser diode (less than 1 cm in diameter and preferably visible-but if possible, fine ), and driver board to run it. I want it be able to adjust the power so that The diode can burn, cut or engrave, but I can try to modify for that that myself. If you found what I looking for (if you can) can you explain how you did so. thank you!

 

it would also be nice if it were cheap/used

 

also if i'm crazy and asking too much let me know

High powered lasers are not things to be taken lightly (no pun intended) because they can cause grave damage in an instant.

It appears that this project is very dangerous and as such, this thread is no longer open for reply.
