Laser tube cutting machine - GIF

Finally! Something a bandsaw can't do better. . .though far less capital investment.
lasers and plasma with 4th axis equipped aren't very common yet. I've looked into having a pair of shear front gauges made from seamed tube and flat stock. It'll have to wait.
Or I figure another way to taper tubing and slot the flat stock. Normal milling machines don't have sufficient travel.
