Best CNC for Large Stencil Projects?

  • Dawna.s Place
    @Mr.E? , @Kristine W offered the following information in response to your request in The Corner of 1st & Main Café' thread. Hopefully this will help.

    @Mr.E? I have a Glowforge. The bed size is 12x20 unless you buy the Pro, which has a pass through slot for larger size materials. However, the Glowforge will not cut metal or glass. You will need a much more powerful laser than a 60w. It will cut cardboard, leather, various wood materials, acrylic, etc. If you are looking for a more powerful laser for metal, you might research Omtech. There are also many Facebook groups dedicated to laser info so if you have Facebook I would recommend looking at those for some guidance.

    Does anyone know the best cnc? It would be great if it could cut thin metal but I really just want whats best and can cut egg crate or whatever would be cheapest and best to use as an svg compatible stencil creator... for use with both an airbrush but if possible one that could cut wood or etch glass would be awesome but overall size is what I need. I want to use it professionally for very large art projects
