Thanks pottzy, you've done well with yours with "traditional tools"... I started with a one piece, but with my body beautiful I've migrated to a bikini style two piece.
This is made predominantly out of 3mm MDF and that is why I encourage all laser owners or potential ones, to upgrade/buy one capable of 1/8" timber cuts... should still be in budget range. 3mm (1/8") MDF/ply can be laminated into any thickness you choose.
Unfortunately throat plates vary as often as most lumberjocks change theirs (jocks). While I couldn't possibly charge to make a buddy a set (the MDF would be probably be less than $5 Aus... which would be nearly 1/2 US$), however, you'd need to sell one of your houses (or all 4 cars, or mum get 3 extra jobs) to pay for the shipping.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
