I've been thinking about getting a laser cutter for a while. I've read back several pages and I haven't seen my particular questions answered so I thought I'd post them. I'd like to make wooden models and dollhouses. I'd most likely use 1/8" thick wood. What wattage would I need to cut that easily and maybe have some headroom if I needed to cut a little thicker? A bigger bed is preferable, but I'm trying to be budget conscious. I'd love something under $5K delivered, but I don't know if that is realistic for a quality machine with decent support. I'm open to opinions on what makes/models you've seen that will work for what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks for any help.
