[sdiy] laser cutting aluminum

[Danjel van Tijn]

The company is CBR Laser inc.

I did not ask for their tolerances but I specified +/- 0.01mm in my RFQ

I have not asked if they do engraving, if so then we have hit a
goldmine. They said they provide a 2 day turn around once a quote is
accepted.

cheers,
   Danjel
