I run a laser engraver at work. It is 80watt with a 100watt tube and it will not even scratch the surface on any metal. You will need around 500+watts to remove metal I would think. If you have access to a laser that can do that then let us know. That is certainly a option I have been considering in mass producing blocks but I can't find anyone locally with a laser strong enough to remove copper. This would be ideal for making Bens Radius!
