Hi Folks,
So now that we have the 100w co2 up and running ( iffy at best, but finally ), My wife wants to start at her next conquest.
I am researching, but coming up with half answers spread over 100's of threads... so far only bits and pieces... all I want, is 1 whole truth, which is better than 10000 half truth's( like my dad says), so spill it... lol
This is what my wife is after ( still after )
A laser: gantry or galvo, co2, fiber, Yag etc...
that can quickly cut, through metal specifically metal cards , sheet metal and stainless steel ( I assume that copper or bronze might be in her equation also). Items with high reflectivity
If this topic had been discussed in depth, please point me in that direction, but if not, please advise us on the best options possible.
we have designers asking us about stainless steel cut outs for wall mounting and so far I can't answer any of their questions, and pointing them to the nearest metal shop... I would like to change that answer to "sure we could do that "...
(so at this point I would like a fiber laser for speed and ease of use for engraving, but my wife wants a metal cutting laser... best of both worlds? is that even possible?)
As always, We enjoy your responses and soak up every morsel of info we can get.
