I plan on getting a laser and starting my own business. My employer has expressed interest as having me for a vendor as I have identified several parts that could be cut to print faster and cheaper with a laser.
The main job that I can foresee doing on a regular basis would be cutting acrylic. This particular part would entail cutting 6 1/4" diameter rings 1/8" wide out of 3/8" thick cell cast black acrylic.
I have two primary questions regarding this particular part.
1 - What kind of finish should I expect?
2 - Is there a chart or table somewhere that plots laser power/wattage vs speed of cut?
As it stands, I'm currently favoring the Pinnacle M series with at least a 60W laser.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!
