I have been looking at entry level cnc lasers but confused as all get out. I see sub $300 units but I don’t want to skimp out on features. From my research a CO2 laser is the best option for acrylic cutting but affordable beginner units don’t really have much of a working surface. Would mainly be cutting black, clear, and flourescent acrylic. Would a non CO2 unit work on clear at all? Open to any suggestions, would like to stay under $500 if possible.
