[TriEmbed] Large Format Laser Cutting Needed

[Jon Wolfe]

Thanks Paul! 

Adam and I discussed this earlier. My cutting area is 20x12. I can also
remove the bottom to fit larger pieces, but I can still only cut within
the cutting area. 

My rates are a little bit lower than Pololu's, but depending on the
complexity, the price can still add up. The laser tube has a limited
life, like a lightbulb, so that is why rates are base on how much work
the laser has to do.

And you would have to index your stock between cuts but that is not much of a challenge. Let me know what you think of Pololu's service. I love those guys but have never used their laser service.
