Hi All,
I have a small startup business making card models and am looking at buying a chinese laser to cut and score.
The card is 1mm thick (600gsm) and it needs to be scored part way so it can be folded and then it can be cut. As my wife has a cake business I would also be making cake toppers by cutting perspex up to 6mm.
I need to know what laser is acceptable to score the card from experienced people. Ideally I am thinking Shenhui SH-G1280 with an 80W tube (or equivalent Redsail or G.Weike machine). The big work area will make the machine versatile for larger jobs.
I am concerned that this may not able to get the power low enough to merely score the card (even at 10%).
I have been reading the forums but I have not found the answer I am looking for.
Thanks for all your help,
Steve
