hardy har har! ;D   It's called a typo gentlement!  :o

that's .015" and .010", that I initially purchased.

I ordered it from Jim Isham, Mgr Johnson Plastics California 866-869-7820 Ext 2201 fax 925-680-0970.

The stuff that is .007" and .005" I have not orderd yet, but Chris Tatarian sent me a sample.


Here is some Corn Stalks I rastered out of it:



Here are some Z Scale Brakewheels I rastered out of the .010" stuff:


I rastered the Z Scale roofwalks out of it to make lower profile ones than come with MTL boxcars. The rastering went all the way through just fine without melting. The Bowtie roof patterns is the .003" acrylic peel & stick material, I think it's called flexibrass, but it has an adhesive backing, a white substrate, and black layer, so that stuff is very useful too:

Nice work. I've having good luck with a paper resin product called backer board, but it comes no t5hinner than 0.015"

Do you guys have your own "home-based" laser setups, or do you contract the work out?

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
