Sorry that title makes this seem SOOOO much more exciting than it really is but now I have your attention... :-D

Does anyone know of a laser cutter that can cut polypropylene sheet?
My new pieces use small repeat elments of polyprop and im getting tired of slicing the ends of my nails off! Before long I will be down to my fingers and thats not a good look ! #-o lol!

CO2 laser cutting machines are usually used for cutting plastics - I can't really recommend anybody though because I've never needed it doing. Our machines are Nd Yag and not really suitable for cutting crisp lines in plastics

I've used these people LaserMaster (http://www.lasermaster.co.uk/Welcome.html)

They're not that cheap but they're convenient for me. The less cuts in a design the cheaper it will be. They cut out acrylic shapes that are all joined together for me. All I have to do is snap them apart and file off the tag. The person I deal with is called Gary. This is an example of what they do for me.
