new laser

[Kevin C. Johnson]

I'm looking at buying a new universal 50 watt 24 x16 table. I already have a 45 watt universal, have been using it for 6 years and has done well for me. I would like to pick your collective brains. Lot of $ to spend and not a lot of time to resource.
Thanks for the feed back!

Uhhhhhhh......maybe you should try asking a specific question.......

[Rodne Gold]

What advice are you looking for?
If you had 6 yrs use out of your old one , it seems a good idea to stick to the same brand etc

ULS is running a special right now for a 24x18 VLS with a 50W cartridge and vector table... $16k, if memory serves.

You are right Dan, $15995.00 That will be my second Universal system and I expect it next week. My first was a 50W M-300 12"X24".

No problems and I don't expect any with the second machine either.

I see too many posts on how good one other manufactures support is to go that route. I cannot tell you how good the support from ULS is except for one time when the first machine was new. That experience was, like this.

Made phone call and talked to a rep.
Part showed up the next morning and I installed.
Machine still working 2 years later.

Not much could pry me away from my Trotec but a $9000 saving would certainly get my attention.
