Is there a table/graph rule of thumb to work out what thickness of material you can cut through with a laser of specified power?
I can't seem to find anything but if anyone knows of data I'm sure a lot of people would find it very useful

I wish it was, but I don't think it is quite as simple as that because the depth of cut is inversely proportional to the feedrate. There are so many other factors which also play a part such as type of material, assist gas etc.
Tweakie.CNC is only limited by our imagination.
