Hi,
I'm interested in cutting Delrin (along the lines of this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHSnqtTVR60&t=8s). I bought a similar system, Gwieke LG6040N 100W, 4" ZnSe lens) and it should arrive in a week or two. I've watched all of Russ's videos and am looking forward to getting started. I also purchased a number of GaAs lenses from Cloudray to try.

Hi AMF,

Welcome to the forum and sorry for the delayed response.

Delrin is a great material for laser cutting, butt it can be pretty expensive.

Don't forget to back up your system files when you get your laser.
