hello all,
I've been a lurker here off and on for a while now, but I think this is my first post, so here it goes...
I work for a archetectual molding company that has a small jewelry box shop. The jewelry boxes are finger joint boxes that are cut with the laser. I have been in charge of taking care of the laser for about 2 1/2 yrs.
It has come time to possibly get a new laser. I need some opinions on what kind, and what size, laser we need. We need to production cut box sides from solid cherry at approximately 1/4" thick. Other things we do with the laser are engravings and cutting 5/16 thick acrylic for knife templates.
We currently are using a Vytech laser with a 100 watt Coherent CO2 laser. Our bed size is 32 X 42 (I think). If you have any input, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
