There's a shop down the street from me that will do custom laser cutting (in Masonite or wood) but they want me to bring in an EPS file to get a price quote. What should I expect to pay?

You're mostly paying for labor, and they generally charge for an hour -- so get as much done at once as you can.

You can also use either process with Aluminum sheet. both have their advantages.
