Anyone try a 100mm focal length lens in the D40?

Just wondering if anyone tried this or if it's worth trying.
I know you wouldn't be able to use the existing bed in the machine -> I don't anyhow. But the machine is deep enough to accommodate the focal length.
I use the machine strictly for cutting. I've dialed in the machine, but the best I can get to cut through 6mm acrylic (1-pass) is 80% power (16ma) at 3mm/s. There's a slight angle to the cut - very, very, very minor, but still bothers me. I understand this would be addressed by a lens with a longer focal length.
