    Not really. 3mm max. And that will be with 10+ passes. So expect an hour plus for even the smallest project and for it to look burnt on the edges.

    Ignore their 4mm-6mm, it won't happen. It also won't cut acrylic, and most plastic will cause chlorine gas to be released, which will damage your lungs, kill your dog, and ruin the lasers opitics.

    Will be suitable for engraving wood and dark coloured acrylic only (will not work on clear at all, will struggle with anything white)

    Not to mention you'll need extraction and air assist to really get far.

    Not to mention - these things are dangerous with no enclosure. Even the reflection from the light can cause serious eye damage. Those glasses aren't going to help much.

          @MapleSyrup07: Engraving and cutting on wood for personal projects. i.e. artwork, photoengraving, cutting pieces for larger projects.
          I would also want to use it on acrylic if possible.
          Work size would be around A3 size and above.

            @1ys23: personally i would go with a CNC Router. turn key solutions will be out of your budget. but if you were to DIY i believe you can get it within 1K.
