    Can Cardboard be cut Safely on a CO2 Class2 Laser?

    Can anyone tell me of any LGAC (Laser Generated Air Contamenants) or fumes to be concerned with while cutting corrogated cardboard with a Class 2 Laser?

    i don't know exatctly what's LGAC (Laser Generated Air Contamenants) ?
    but i could cut cardboard with my laser safely.
    just adjust the power of laser on low power and speed of cutting on medium speed.

    I cut corrugated cardboard, card stock, poster board all the time, the fumes are no more problem than burning wood in your fireplace.

    I am currently cutting 1" thk corrogated cardboard using nitrogen assist. Seems to be working great aside from the horrible smell. A hepa/carbon respirator takes care of the though. Thanks for the comments everyone
