Donny if you get the right laser set up like the Epilog or Glowforge it might be a much better tool and you don't generate as much of mess as you would with cnc router setup.
look at this site;
https://glowforge.com/?utm_source=go...BoCPiIQAvD_BwE
and here is the epilog which has been around for a very long time.

I want one but I dont have the space for one of these tools
enjoy
