    Rabbit Laser - 6040

    I am new to the laser environment, as I am a woodworker. I went to a conference and people were taking about having a laser for woodworking. I currently have a CNC router and use it constantly. Now I am considering a laser. I have looked at the Chinese lasers as well as the Full Spectrum Miuse. I ran across the Rabbit Laser here in Ohio. Since I live about 4 Hours from the company I am getting ready to purchase the 6040 laser with a 60 watt tube. Does anyone have experience with this laser versus other lasers?

    Thanks.

    I have also started looking, and the Rabbit was highly recommended from a person in our woodworking club that owns a sign making business.

    Excellent, I am thinking making a purchase next week. The good news for me is they are close to me. It only makes sense to go with them.

    Ray Scott at Rabbit Laser USA does an outstanding job of customer training and support. You will pay more, but just read the tales of woe from other people on here who have purchased Chinese lasers, it goes on and on, but then the anger when they find out how much money they wasted.... with no recourse. More anger when no one on here can help!!

    I got a great machine from LightObject but I don't live 3 hours from Ray Scotts place, and I wanted a small footprint model.

    Do some research before plunking down money on a Muse - there is at least one YouTube review that is less than glowing with praise. The FSL Facebook group also has some useful feedback.

    Ray uses mostly Leetro controllers, but is starting to use Ruida [RDworks V8 software]. I switched my laser [not a rabbit] from Leetro to Ruida- far superior IMHO. I have met Ray and he is the real deal.

    I bought a Rabbit from Ray going on 3 years now have had no problems with the machine that were mechanical. Couple of operator errors with the software but a quick call to Rabbit and all is well.

    The other thing, with a rabbit laser you will get a true output tube, if you buy a 40 watt you will get 40 watt not 30 saying they are 40 like most vendors do. They tell you its a 40 watt tube well yea it will peak 40 on start up but continuous power is like 30 watts or less. Rays tubes put out full power all the time.

    Thanks for your additional information. I think the 60 watt is all I need. Did you also get the rotary?

    No I didn't get a rotary. If you plan on doing a lot of glass's or yeti's it migh be worth ity. I find I can do some round work with out a rotary, It depends on what you want to do

    go ahead, and test your materials, if no problem, you can pick it up directly
