Anyone got one, looks a tasty bit of kit, and fairly reasonably priced these days.

My brother has one, from memory it was about 12k but this was quite a few years back, there's cheaper ones now but they'll be the Chinese ones and are water cooled, brothers isn't but has an extractor fan for the little bit of smoke it creates, here's a YouTube link with a few of his projects on, he works in motorsport building engines so a lot of his stuff is motorsport based, he also makes bespoke one off or low production run stickers that bigger companies aren't interested in as it doesn't pay due to the set up costs to make 3 stickers, he also designs and stickers up teams steering wheels, mainly Le Man cars, the special stickers glow at night in the cockpit when shone with black light which we can't see

Faced with having to make 80 kits of parts for decorative lanterns from balsa wood
I used a small company to cut them with a laser cutter and the results were excellent.

wouldn't look at a hobbyist job, but they really have come down into the (expensive) but not totally out of reach range these days.
bit bulky
I'm quite lucky, my friend has access to quite a big laser cutter (used to make modular building wall panels!).
He made me some flywheel adapters out of 10mm steel last job.
Couldn't justify owning one!.
I bought a plasma cutter for making my bellhousing adapters and it worked very well through 10mm steel plate.

Wouldn't they have been made on a CNC machine?
CNC plasma yes, I'd imagine you'd get quite a tidy cut with minimal finishing off on a linisher

Ah, I see, now that does sound like a mightly expensive piece of kit.
