I contemplated buying a $3500 laser cutter. It was capable of cutting through aluminum, but the main purpose would be to do odd wood cutting jobs, and metal cutting mixed with wood cutting is a no no.  Shelved it until I have spare cash on hand. <div>
</div><div>If I do get the chance to get one though, it will be for hire too, send me a 1:1 sketch under a certain size and the wood and for a small fee, you would have new parts. Something I am still considering. </div>
