Hello,

I am new to this forum. I am using a compact CNC router that has a carbide wheel to cut thin sheets of mirror (1/32" thick with silver backing) into small geometrical shapes (triangles and trapezoids). I am having lots of problems with the machine (mechanical and lack of precision). I am thinking of buying a CO2 50W laser engraver. I am wondering if with some particular settings I would be able to etch the glass side of the mirror so it can be cut into the desired pieces without chipping the edges (with decent precision like within 1/32" and good speed). The pieces are like 1/4" to 2" in length on any one side. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
