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

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,
