My full time job is operating a 4kW 1070nm fibre laser setup for cutting metals, mostly steel; stainless steel; aluminium here in Launceston, Tasmania.
Unfortunately the supplier advised us not to cut timber / particle board due to the potential of an ember reaching the fume extractor which contains regular cardboard type air filters. Oddly enough, last year I reached out to some other laser cutters locally and one mentioned their laser was down due to a fire in the fume extractor!
