One basic question
If i choose aluminium as the basic material of the gantry, could i have 6-10mm holes laser cutted at a 20mm aluminium plate. They told me that there is a "law" that says that you cant laser cut holes smaller than the thickness of the material. Is that true ? That means if i have a 10mm thickness steel i will have 10mm laser cutted holes, accordingling about aluminium.
Thanks

If the laser cut service told you - its so. In 10mm steel there is no problem to cut 5mm holes. But anyway, they could mark you the holes with the laser, so later you drill them. Normally the laser cut service would have a mill also, so they could drill you the holes, once marked.
