    Re: Taig CNC for letterpress printing plates

    you could give a try with corian..
    some cabinetshop has scraps around you, and that is a lot cheaper (free) than copper..

    with corian I could make dryembossing in cardstock..

    if your intention is hotfoil stamping, then I think you could look for a cnc router too.. larger area, simpler to work....

    Great idea, I suppose once the machine is in place I can cut on all kinds of materials. Hot foil will certainly need metal.
