Laser cutting.


Today I had much better success laser cutting, the previous piece was so thin that once the inner cutting where removed there wasn't much of the structure left to hold it together, below I put a contour line 1mm around the original line meaning that it was at least 2mm thick, the outcome was very successful.   (excuse bad images, taken with phone, through the laser cutter window)

Two pieces ready to be cut out on the screen, red being cut and green being etch.

  1. It this a CO2, YAG or a DPSS Laser? It would be interesting to see a 10X close up of a laser cut edge?
