I have a Chinese CNC drill/router and I like to fix a laser to cut mylar foils. To replace the spindle with a laser is no issue.
Application is mylar foils as solder paste stencils.
The foil thickness is about 0.20mm/200µm/8mil. If mylar doesn't work I would go for kapton.
I wonder if a laser pointer module can do the job? If so, what power and color I should look for?
I know have a 150mW BluRay laser module, haven't tested yet if it can cut. I want to use that to expose photosensitive PCB laminates.
And since we are on that cutting topic, what laser I would need to cut 3mm PMMA/Acrylic? (of course the mill can do that too)
