Inlays with mk2 laser

Hi, I’m new to cnc & lightburn. Laser not setup yet. Has anybody laser cut aluminum (2mm thick) for a fretboard inlay? Will this laser handle this small size cut? I think the design is about 1" by 3/4 inch.
Also what type aluminum size will cut/engrave?
thanks in advance
Ralph

@Ralph-cnc I am open to being proven wrong, but IMHO, there is no way you will cut aluminum with a diode laser. You can cut it with an o-flute bit in your router, though.

Hi Gwilki, That’s probably why I did not see any previous topic on laser and aluminum. But good to know I can cut the aluminum design with the mk2 router.
Thanks
Ralph
