Great concept but I couldn't see much info on the specs at a glance and its only cutting paper on the images.

This thread brings back memories! I remember the day during my PhD research project in laser spectroscopy that I had produced a novel design of CO2 laser for a final year undergraduate to build, and I bet my co-workers a cup of coffee that it would burn a hole through a coke can (which the existing lab designs couldn't do). After a couple of minutes trying, I conceded defeat and we all went to coffee at my expense. But when we returned, the laser has done it's job and there was a hole in the can!
Seriously though, 2W is an awful lot of visible laser power and very dangerous to one's eyesight. Much safer to use infrared lasers whose wavelengths are long enough not to be focussed by the eye.
