hello everyone,
This is my first post in SMC. first of all, i would like to thank all of you for all the useful information that is readily available.
I've been doing some reading here, and i decided to go ahead and buy a Chinese CO2 laser engraver.
first of all, this will be my first experience using a laser, it will start out as a hobby and then i will see if it is plausible to turn into a small-business. (BTW, i live in Nova Scotia, Canada, so its pretty quite over here).
I have found that most of you that have invested in a Chinese laser bought from Shenhui. I have tried to contact them, but they seem to be too busy to reply. so i went to the next best company i found. bodor. i have already placed my order of: 50w table top 500mm x 300mm with auto z-axis, rotary attachment, honeycomb top, and a few extras. i just sent the money 3 hours ago, and they should start production when i send them the SWIFT copy. it will be delivered through DHL to the airport, shipping alone costed me around $800. but all together (including shipping) i paid $3100.
i will first use the laser to learn, then i will start offering general service of engraving personalized items, name tags, trophies, and things like that at first, then i will see if i should specialize.
tell me what you guys think. have i made right decision? should i have done something differently?
i will be posting photos and videos the second i receive my laser, but for now, you can check out the generic photo i was given.
(i apologize if this was posted in the wrong place, and if it was, please tell me where it should be redirected).
