I am new to this forum and am looking into cutting vent holes, lcd cutouts, ect in abs plastic that is 3-4mm thick. Right now we are using a couple of maxnc desktop cnc machines but are trying to get away from the noise and the cuts will leave hairs on the edges occasionaly that we have to exacto off. Will laser cutters leave a clean edge without melting/distorting? What power laser cutter should I be looking at for this application?

I see alot of people's posts not being satasfied with the chinese laser cutters but looking at the american ones they seem way out of my price range. Right now I am only needing to cut and not engrave so much. Any suggestions on a decent inexpensive machine?

I'd like to see the results of one of my abs plates being cut. Nothing special, just have a square cut out of it and maybe a screw hole. Anybody with a laser willing to give it a shot for some beer money?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
