Talk to David Donoho at http:\\www.teccut.com He is laser-cutting complex
parts for me in 1/16" x 4 x 24 sheets of basswood for about $4 a sheet. The
kerf is .007", my biggest part is 16" long and comes out within .002" of
design. I did my own CAD drawing so there was no setup charge. He can
recommend a material for your project.

Die cutting has problems with sharp corners, slight wavy lines, and a
whopping charge to build the die. Production is much less expensive.

Sawing them on a table saw is easy, sawing them accurately requires skill
and patience.

Hello experienced woodworkers

I am working on a special project (I'm actually a textile artist), and I
need to have some masonite or hardboard cut into a specific size and shape
(small squares) in some quantity.

I will have to shop this out to someone, and I need to have as ultra
smooth
edges as I can get with exact size. Is what I'm looking for called laser
cutting or dye cutting, and what is the difference?

Where would I look to find someone like this to do this type of work?

Thanks for any kind help
