The new Mount Royal library has a maker space with a laser cutter. You take them your files and material, they operate the cutter. So far it’s free! Unfortunately their drop in times are 10-2 weekdays.
I made a couple of trays out of ⅛ ply to help me organize small parts

That’s cool John. Do you mean Mount Royal Univeristy? What else have they got?

That is a good heads up John. Do they provide any details of capability or limitations as in material types & thicknesses?

About all I know it that it cut ⅛ Baltic birch with no problem. I did see some scraps of ¼ that had pieces cut out of them. The working space is about 24”x48”.
It a trotec unit. I think protospace has a similar one so JohnW might have a better handle on its capabilities?
They do want to see an msds of what they are cutting. Since they’d already been cutting birch, I didn’t need one.
