I want to build a few instrument panels with Digi-Key switches and potentiometers. I want to build the instrument panels either out of acrylic or thin sheets of aluminum. I would like a laser cutter to do this. What make and model of laser cutter should I consider and white wattage would be necessary to cut up to 1/16 inch pieces of aluminum
