I'd imagine that 8mm will cut OK without marks but not tried it because i don't have any.




Michael makes a good point over cast and extruded but to be honest I don't know what this material is? just some kicking about.

Laser is an A3 unit and cost 3K but you can get some from China for about 1.5K

I bought from the UK, HPC laser as I wanted UK support.

Perfectly willing to run some test pieces for you.
Cheers John!

That gives us something to go on for comparison purposes.

If its ok with you and you have the time, we would like to arrange with you to see the unit in action so that we can get a proper understanding of whats involved in running a laser unit.

Never seen one before (except ebay pics) let alone used one!
