<p>Thanks Paul!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">I just remembered that the RMS laser can open for sheet feeding so you can do long pieces but would still be limited to 35" width. 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.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">Contact Pololu and ask them about card-stock or thin pressboard. I take it they are flexible about letting you drop-ship material to them or have them order it if you need a material they do not stock.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
