Laser cutter? Drop me a PM if you have an idea on prices, I'm getting what I think are very good prices and may start to sell as well.

Ive costed out certain materials prior to this purchase, I havent costed 20mm acrylic, but as soon as I have a price and a chance to cut some I will let you know.

Will you be able to polish?

Will you be able to polish?

Yes, the laser polishes as it cuts, it doesnt need flame polishing like mechanically cut acrylic.

Do you just buy the listed blocks or get custom made?

I buy custom made cast acrylic tiles which are laser cut and have a perfect finish.

You will have fun cutting clear acrylic with a laser mind you it does depend on the type of laser for example a CO2 laser will do nothing to clear acrylic and a 40W laser will only go about 2mm per pass and you will need a good extraction system.
