    Check out the youtube link.

    A very good friend of mine has invested a huge amount of money in a laser cutter. Better still he has set up next door to FloorSkills. FloorSkills has already starting producing bespoke tools to help installers that we will soon be adding them to www.tradediscountshop.co.uk

    Here is a quick video of teh laser in action cutting 2mm steel today - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7_QMkg43Yo

    You could tie Matt to it and reinact that scene from the Bond film..

    "You expect me to train you?"

    "No Mr Bourne, I expect you to die"

    Saw the laser at work this morning.
    What a great bit of kit, like something out of Star Trek. Cut the bits so quickly, etched them and they're all done to the exact same size (can work from CAD drawings).
    I can't say how good it was, it has to be seen to be believed.
    Pretty much, what you can think of (and get drawings of), it'll cut.
