ibexman Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Im pretty green on this so be gentle need a machine to cut ali or thin sheet steel any grown ups point me in the right direction cheers chris???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Have you considered Hi-Def plasma ? Are you looking for CNC axis control, or manual operation? , water jet cutting might also be worth a look at too cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 What are you wanting to cut? a circular saw with the right blade is more than capable of cutting Ali and thin steal, jig saw or router with metal blade for the rest, or did you want CNC type cutting?

landroversforever Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Having done research on plasma, laser and Waterjet for a presentation at college, Ii had the space and money I would get a CNC waterjet. Far more versatile than the other two. and really rather cool and funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 You're going to have to be a bit more specific about the type, quantity and quality of stuff you want to cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmannnn Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Not sure "entry level" and "laser cutting" should be in the same sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael calvert Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 that was my thoughts, not entry level but a mate of mine has £2.5m in his laser cutter (and a bit less in the other) cuts 3d and selects its own sheet froma rack mind, but its mind bogling, knows how much of sheet is left and puts it back!

white90 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Or contact Nas90 Dave at cirrus Laser and get him to do your cutting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
