Lasercutting PCBs

I found this to be pretty interesting.  I wonder however if there is risk in the reflections damaging the lens.  I can get shim Steele like this at work, and acrylic is cheap....

Think I would rather set up the Shapoko to cut boards.

I was thinking more along the lines of picking up a 200 dollar laser "cutter" off of banggood. I don't want to mess with the chemicals if i can find a way around it. You'll have to show me how you do it, i don't envision a cnc cutting super thin copper ending well?

You buy the copper clad board then mill away the copper, change bits then drill your holes. Easy to make double sided boards this way.
