Deciding on which laser to get to cut vinyl albums

Post by BradleyNag »

Hi Folks,

My wife and I run a business cutting vinyl albums int various shapes, band names, personalized, etc with a shark cnc router. The router's been very good to us but we are considering moving on to a laser as we have seen what our competition has done with them and out little shark just can't keep up. I had no problems with the router as I have a bit of general wood working background but lasers are a whole new world for me. I have absolutely no idea which one is a good fit for what we do. I'd love to get input from anyone who has experience with cutting vinyl or lasers in general - I really want to avoid buying a $10,000 door stop



Thanx!

Vinyl is "forbidden" for laser cutters. If you decide to do that anyway - probably laser will work only few days - due chlorine fumes and hydroelectric acid which are will be produced during this type of cutting.
