Lasers.................I have NO IDEA - HELP!!

[jrgrtx]

So I have stumbled onto a "niche" business opportunity that involves cutting "fit check" templates out of thin acrylic and posterboard-type stiff paper (1/16" thick). I believe a laser would be the most accurate and effective but I know absolutely zero, zilch, nada, about lasers. I'd need something that could cut about 18" x 30" templates, 1/16" thick acrylic and posterboard-type thick paper. This would be repetitive cutting on a fairly large scale (20-40 cuts a day). Any help would surely be appreciated.

1/16" acrylic and posterboard? Even the cheap K40 will do that.

Again...................I know absolutely nothing at all about lasers. "K40" means the same to me as "ABC123".

The "K40" i see on Amazon is only for 8x12 pieces. Again, this is for a minimum of 18" x 30" and for high volume.
