Iam interested in starting a laser engraving business and have beenobserving, studying and learning as much as possible without verymuch actual “hand's on” experience”. Mostly I'll be workingwith anodized aluminum, soft woods and leather. Balancingspeed/power/cost I've decided I'll be fine with a 40 – 60 wattmachine. Machines sold in the U.S. specifically Epilog and Universalare pricey, Trotec is even pricier and Gravograft is ballistic.Therefore I'm looking at “Chinese” machines and finding numerousnightmare posts but very few (none actually) stating “I have a(brand) chinese machine and it's been working fine since I got it”.So, I'm looking for honest feedback about your chinese machine, easeof tech support if you've needed it, speed of delivery etc etc. Ithoroughly expect to see a few “I had issues with the software, butI'm not a geek” which is understandable. Software support fromoverseas is challenging at best and from the big companies reallycrappy from my personal experience.
I'mafter brand and model, especially if you haven't had any majorissues. I've been in contact with Thunder, G.Weikeand a few others.
Thanksfor your feedback.
