You could probably get by with a 10 watt Synrad, as they usually put
out 15+ watts when in good shape. There is one on ebay right now
but it is overpriced...There was a buy-it now one a month or so ago
that went for $699 and was doing 15 watts...I already have one
gathering dust so I didn't bid on it :-)

Of course if you just had to cut at 1200IPM, you would want 50 or
100 watts, but with 15 watts you could probably do 60 to 90IPM

If I have time I will try and shoot a short video cutting rayon (if
I can find a piece around the house) at 90IPM and tell you what
power level it took (right now I have a 50 watt mounted to my cnc
mill).
