Yes, but you have to remember the cutting/engraving footprint is small, 5" dia max. with the lens I have. Materials such as stainless, O1, aluminum. brass.....basically any alloy. It's obviously not practical to use it to cut just anything but small complicated geometry, parts for my watching...

I have a 30W Raycus Fiber laser! I use it to cut/engrave metals and aluminum for fishing reels and watch parts.

Bummer, wish it was an R8! Would be good for my watch making stuff.
