Hi everyone,
I'm a regular on the woodworking forum but I have a laser question so I figured I'd ask the experts. First of all I have always been fascinated by these machines but not to the point yet where I am willing to bite bullet and start a custom engraving business as many of you have...but you never know.
My problem and question is this.. I know these lasers can just about engrave anything but can they cut brass? I am in need of some brass letters aprox 1/2" high and 1/16"ish thick for a clock face. I've searched the web till my fingers hurt but could only find plastic in that size. All the brass ones are 2-4" and used for house numbers....
Any help or info would be appreciated...
thanks....
