lazers are really cool, I was at a big steel supplier and watched them cut some 1" thick steel with this huge lazer. it had like 12x64ft of travel :eek:

That doesnt look like steel to me. More like balsa wood. Still interesting otherwise.

Im thinking its some thin aluminum. I was saying that I have seen 1" thick steel cut with a lazer.

Also, you gotta love how they programmed the thing;)

Hi Guys,

No it is just balsa and some lite ply. Can do up to 1/4" or so on AC Plywood but mostly used for cutting our line of kits.

Nice forum here :)

Thanks,
