Thanks Doug , I guess the speed these lasercutters can achieve is dependent on the wattage?

Jan,
Yes in part, if the material is hard or thick you may slow the laser down so it can cut deeper. I think the bridge video has been sped up.

Hal...I went to the new Essex Aggie open house on Saturday now Called Essex Tech in Danvers, MA. They have a CNC Machine Shop course. They were displaying a couple of Laser Cutters. I'm wondering if they'll be an Adult Education course on laser cutters offered in January , Something for me to think about.
