Laser Cut Cleaning Tool

So my workshop was begining to become littered with metal bits from my new Grizzly G0463 Metalworking Mill.  So I got a good deal on a iROBOT dirt dawg.  This little guy has been great.  I have been a long time consumer of the iRobots but have found that having 3 100lbs+ dogs tend to “tire” the robots out faster than normal.  That being said this shop cleaning robot seems to preform as expected cleaning the workshop.  In all honesty I am very impressed with it.

However, My metal cutting table has clamping T’s that little bits of metal would fall down into and become very much of a pain to clean.  So I decided to fab a part in google sketchup for the T slots to help extract the junk.  So a few quick measurements with my digital caliper and I was good to go.

Current Works

The laser has been delivered, setup and fired.  I have a few little things I have created so far but for the most part I am trying to learn how to use it with 100% accuracy.  Here are some photos.

So for the Wifi Sniper project.  I am working on developing the rotational mount so that the antenna has no room for misalignment.  My current design suffers from the problem of misalignment however not for long.

The rotational mount is nearly finished and ready for testing.  I should have images and videos of the Wifi Sniper using the new mount in the next day or so.  This is really the last hardware design problem ( I think ) thats stopping future progress.  I am sure there is going to be added tweaks and adjustments but thats life.  The overall design should be stable before its offered as a kit.
