Does anyone have a laser cutter?

I’ll post just to pop this to the top of the list. I’d be interested in anyone as well.

Maybe Luke or Obywan has a abre that will worm out there.

1/2” is too thick for most laser cutters – even if you found someone with a really powerful laser cutter, at that depth you would end up with a major kerfing issue.
I would suggest CNC router like a shopbot. You can check on 100kgarages.com or pm me if you are need someone.

You might have better luck finding a machine shop with a water jet. I beleive that they will cut just about anything and very accurate.

I have a laser cutter and can cut up to 1/4 inch.

I am happy to do some custom cuts!

Wouldn’t a laser burn the wood at that thickness.

My company has a water jet cutter. It can cut anything up to 7” thick granite and maintain plus/minus .002” tolerance. Costs about $85/hr to run it though.

The laser burns the wood when trying to cut with a few passes.
Also depends on type of wood.
I haven’t tried cutting low power with multiple passes… it would take a long time but may be worth it!
