I never bothered to ask the internet whether you could cut Delrin (polyacetal plastic) with a laser cutter. That is, until last night and the answer was YES, just be careful of the fumes. I've been wanting to make a better looking tsuba (guard) for my bokken (wooden practice sword, in this case for Iaido). Here are the results of my first test, I think there's an interesting future in making custom tsuba.
(a lovely customized tsuba)
(doesn't it look nice on my bokken)
(all I need is a darker stopper)
(original tsuba for comparison. Ugly, no?)
