Both lasers are good in quality, but my choice is Mercury. Reasons - manufacturer do not save on metal and access/work is very easy and comfortable. Stand alone cabinet unit, easy to move. Dust extraction work better that on Epilog. Price is cheaper, service is cheaper.
Hello
Thanks for answer
Will be OK for my work 25W ?
Yes, you can engrave everything and cut acrylic up to 10 mm one pass with standart lens. Really you will have from the beginning 5-8 Wt more than 25 Wt
Now new design of Mercury II shipped to end users with emergency stop button and key lock.
Epilog is much faster than GCC....it´s true ? This say me dealer. And Epilog..1200DPI an GCC..1000DPI ....it´s very difference ?Thanks
Yes, Epilog is faster, but it also more expensive.
But if you need speed - buy Spirit or C180 Really speed is important only in December
Resolution - you are also right, Epilog have 1200, LaserPro - 1000. But
1) there is VERY SMALL difference between 1200 and 1000 dpi, practically invisible.
2) you are working with 1000/1200 dpi only in 1% of jobs.
3) do not forget that increase in dpi = increase in time of engraving
Price (whit all equipment)
Epilog mini 18 .......11.500 Euro 30W
C 180 .................10.500 Euro 30W
Mercury ..............10.700 Euro 25W
Epilog is not more expensive.
And I read .....rotary attachment is better on Epilog ??
Rotary attachment is better on Epilog ?? NO, rotary is better on Laser Pro
Concerning prices - no coments
This price is with rotary, compressor, exhaustion, cutting table and installing laser.
I ´dont start laser myself (I am amateur). I can help with installing and training.
Hi All
I have a small desktop laser cutter and I am looking for a nesting program that would be compatable with either Coreldraw x4 or Acad 2007. does anyone know if there are any Plug-Ins or Add-Ons for these programs
I have looked at Delcam - Artcam ensignia quickly but it seems to only take router bits - Does anyone know if it is suitable for Lasers?
