    Question Is laser cutting a reliable solution?

    Laser cutting is not enough I guess what do you guys think? Moreover it is less accurate and there is no way back.
    Do you agree?

    Re: Is laser cutting a reliable solution?

    Depends on the application and the laser. I have found that laser cutting is quite accurate, but it is not the same accuracy as a precision machined part. We have a lot of parts laser cut, but we also machine other parts.

    So if your question is can a laser be substituted for a milling machine in all cases, the answer is no. They are different machines and have a different purpose.
