    Guys, can CO2 laser cut through CD DVD disks?

    No mirroring problems? I want to make mirror-surface letters.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Co2 laser will cut the non relective material cleanly but meltback gives poor edge finish plent of youtube vids out there notice edge quality and burning K40 35w type lasers would be worse

    Polycarb cuts like crap. Been meaning "one day" to change out air assist with nitrogen and see if that eliminates the burning.... And yes, I would be checking that nitrogen is the right gas first!
