Couldn't you use those sand/water cutters instead of a laser? Or too messy/industrial for a hobbyist?

[vetran]

Nope, restraints are mostly straps & I have a strap cutter for that, this would be to do steampunk style projects.

sorry thought you were going to the 'premium end' and creating personalised and extravagant toys.

Back to the restraints, would a docking computer be of any use at all?

[Old Greg]

EMP ? (Electro Magnetic Pulse)

Electronic Counter Measures, I expect.

This for 'restraint' items?

Docking computer first though...

Please respond with advice...

Take a picture of your hands now whilst you still have all your fingers.

But IIRC the way to go is

3 x military laser
1 x mining laser
1 x fuel scoop

Dear x
I've absolutely no experience of this kind of toy but I would be so impressed if that got through 6mm plate
From a quick google a 35watt laser is - how shall I put it- a little on the light side power wise and may I add somewhat demeaning for a Contractors forum - you may be better off getting hold of a military grade 100kW jobbie (ask AtW for details)

Utmost kudo's for bringing this to my attention & sorry I couldn't be of more help (may be worth your while visiting a trade show for demos)

Warmest Regards x

Why not just get a Stanley knife for a couple of quid?

Actually with a laser in a box I am less likely to maim myself

OK so not 6mm in metal plate, the leather & acrylic may go that thick but plate would max out at 1.2mm

Halo, just chop him up with an axe, and saw some bits off. then bury him. bye bye BBG, youse was a nice guy

Nah if things get that bad it would be an industrial blender: saves on the clean-up bill
