New Tool to Use With the Laser

New Tool to Use With the Laser

I have been looking at this mini table saw for a long time. It has finally come down in price and the store had a 20% off coupon and a free DVM with any purchase so....
I bought one and also bought the carbide tip blade for it.
Total price was $37.00 USD. It works fine for what it is. Cut 6mm plexiglass without chipping. Leaves a smooth edge on 3 mm ply. It does not have a lot of torque but if you take your time it does a great job. A lot less hassle than my battery circular saw and can cut small items quickly.
It looks like plastic in the picture but the whole thing is made from cast metal.

(Sorry everyone else!)

I found a RCA Cambio 10.1" 2-in-1 Tablet 32GB Intel Atom Z3735F Quad-Core Processor Windows 10 at Walmart for $78. It includes a keyboard with touchpad. It was on the website but not on display in the store. I asked for them to check under the tablet display and they found it. Not all stores have it in stock. The Walmart website will tell you if it is in stock. Make sure you search for the $78.00 price. For some reason it will show up for $99.00 on their site. I have found it very snappy and the display is very good at all angles. The best part is that it sports a full size USB connection.

I came across this mat in a CNC forum. The manufacture claims it can be used with a laser. Anyone use something like this before? The 12 inch x 12 inch is about $60.00 USD
