I am thinking of "starting" a very small business, but at the beginning it can be more hobby than business. I've been wondering if laser engraving machine can fulfill my needs.
I want to do wooden handmade toys. In some cases i need to color them and i want to make borders of color zones by "burning" the surface a bit.
I don't need a deep engraver. The area may not be bigger than cca. 30x20 cm (A4).
1) Do i need laser engraver to burn a surface a bit? Maybe another machines exist, just i dont know about them.
2) If yes, please can you give me some info which products are suitable for me? Price, as always, the cheaper the better ( but I prefer a bit more expensive but reliable than cheaper but crap). You can advice even exact model.
