Any suggestions for a CO2 and fiber Lasers for elite

We are considering the foreman elite platform for our educational program but are looking for CO2 and Fiber lasers in place of a diode. Does anyone have experience, suggestions or referrals for us. Thanks in advance.

We’ve never seen it done on a Onefinity machine. The Jtech Diode is the only official option.

The foreman is a great machine…and I would never put a co2 laser on mine, especially in an educational setting, given that it is an open frame design.

Personally, I would only ever consider co2 in a closed frame…though I did search out options at one time to try and fit a co2 laser on my onefinity (specifically for clear acrylic), but the more I learned about risks the less sense it made to even attempt it. I ended up getting an inexpensive, dedicated, and fully enclosed co2 laser (a k40+).

I started with K40s years ago. They came with their own issues - like grounding wires from the power cord not connected inside the machine. I had current leakage through my concrete floor and if it was damp right back through me to the machine when I’d be working on it :smiley: The not as cheap Chinese lasers are much safer than the K40 design although YMMV because not all factories building K40s are equally irresponsible.
