    That doesnt look like steel to me. More like balsa wood. Still interesting otherwise.

    Im thinking its some thin aluminum. I was saying that I have seen 1" thick steel cut with a lazer.

    Also, you gotta love how they programmed the thing

    Hi Guys,

    No it is just balsa and some lite ply. Can do up to 1/4" or so on AC Plywood but mostly used for cutting our line of kits.

    Nice forum here

    Thanks,
