Hi,
I'm looking at solutions for cutting 0.003" thick aluminium shim, and have come to the conclusion that what is needed would be a fibre galvo of some kind.
Trying to get the cheapest possible tool that will reliably do the job, so it doesn't necessarily need to cut through in one pass.
So far, I think that the commarker b4 should be able to do the job, and I was wondering if anyone on the forum is UK based (Preferably London) and has a similar laser marking setup they'd be happy to lend/rent out for us to test with before we invest in one of our own.
Thanks in advance.
