    Suggestions on a laser that can engrave brass/stainless steel

    I have a quick question before getting a suggestion. https://imgur.com/a/CXWQnU3 This is engraved with a laser correct? I currently engrave charms for jewelry with stamps but i want to improve my products so i'm considering purchasing a laser machine that can do that.
    The laser machine needs to be able to engrave Brass and/or stainless steel like the picture above (which is 12mm big). I don't need to cut metal or anything like that. At the most, i'll look into engraving glass. I was considering getting a Full Spectrum Laser because they are local but i just looked at the reviews and it seems that the majority of them are bad on google. So now i'm not sure what to do. I called and they said the cheapest one starts at 10k so i'm hoping to find something good around that price or less since my online store is pretty small at the moment. Can anyone recommend anything please?

    Full Spectrum sell only Chinese machines. I wouldn't classify them as local. You can get the same technology at alibaba.com.
    Even the LaserStar machines are mostly made with low cost Chinese components.


    If you want a laser made in the US go with Coherent. Recently they merged with Rofin. Their prices start around 45K tho.


    If you go Chinese get a MOPA laser. It will allow you to precisely control the color of oxidation when marking steel.
