It's an Amada hybrid 2500w laser we bought new a few years ago. The machine handles a sheet that is up to 4' w and 12' long. It can cut about 6 of the pieces from one sheet, then the operator takes out the skeleton and puts in another fresh sheet and presses -start

The speed of the cutting is relative to the thickness of material. In light gages it cuts over 100' a minute. At full capacity of 1/2" thick it cuts at about 6' a minute.
