Great info and link, thanks.

Ah, indeed. I should have made it clear that by feasible I meant economically as well as technically. It would need to cost less than sending out to a laser cutting firm. The basic concept is that I want to make very small holes in very thin material and thus am hoping that a low power (and...

Given the underwhelming response to this question I guess I can say that it probably isn't feasible to do this, however I thought I would just try once more so the post doesn't get lost altogether, can anyone say that this is definitely NOT feasible? At least that would save me from doing any...

I'm investigating the use of lasers for making high quality Nipkow disks. There are, as you say, other ways of doing that but none of them are particularly accurate. The most common ways are drill bits or punches. Drill bits aren't too bad but are a problem to obtain in very small sizes < .3mm...

Just trying to determine the feasibility of creating small holes, < 1mm (.o4 inch), in very thin material using a readily available laser. The ideal material would be household quality aluminium foil (or the thicker heavy duty variety) but the reflectivity of this material would probably be a...
