  1. Re: Need recommendations on a shipping agent/broker from China to US

    We used Delmar, but we picked ours up at the port in Los Angeles, CA. They handled everything that was required to get it to the States though. I would check with DHL as already suggested as well.

    The 180W RECI tube should be able to cut at that speed, with a 100W RECI we can cut 3/8 inch at 20mm/s. I haven't tried cutting any 3/4 inch on our unit to check the speeds. I will give that t try in...
  3. Re: Looking for someone who has etched a photo of person or animal on glass w/co2

    Re: water temperature

    That is great service! I am glad to hear that you were able to solve the issue. While the real chillers (like you purchased) are expensive, they are worth it.
