Laser made die cutter idea

[Scott.Burns]

I cut some acrylic with the beam focused on the top surface, and found the cone sides to be 2-4 degrees from vertical. This was on a 60W Epilog.

Questions about using acrylic solvent

I pulled out some samples I cut and a protractor. Holding the cut edge of the vertical sheet flush against a base sheet, I measure between two and four degrees of slant from true vertical. The sheets were 1/8" thick and the protractor had a 3" radius of measurement.
