    A Bad Idea?

    I had someone email me asking if I could laser cut Formica veneer. Sounds like a bad idea to me. Could be caustic to my laser and lungs. What are your thoughts?

    Thank you David. I thought it might not be good to laser, just couldn't really remember. I know vinyl is a big no no because it can be caustic to the laser and your lungs.
