Members DavidL Posted December 9, 2015 Members Report Posted December 9, 2015 For cutting out templates out of metal which is prefered? Anyone familiar with the cost of CNC or laser, which is more economical? Recommendations to any companies that offer decent value? Quote
Members biglew Posted December 9, 2015 Members Report Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) metal will be a much costlier higher power unit. I use a laser all the time and use acrylic to make my templates. I use a machine with a 3'x4'bed with 150 watts. Now I can cut very very thin metals.. but you will need a fiber laser or a lot more power. you might try a waterjet or cnc plasma cutter for metal.. Edited December 9, 2015 by biglew Quote
