Hello All.
I live in the Isle of Man (half way between England and Ireland) and have been trawling the internet for a while looking for information and advise on Chinese Lasers. I came across this forum a little while ago and decided to sign up and seek a little help with a possible purchase.
I currently run a Roland EGX-300 in a small home workshop. It's a hobby machine and I can engrave wood, plastic and metal. Have also used it to cut out some parts for one of my motorcycles in Carbon Sheet. For a small machine it does very well.
For quite a while I have been thinking of buying a laser machine. I really only have a small budget, as I cant really justify spending a lot on a machine that will only be used as a hobby machine. I have done lots of looking around the web, reading reviews, forums and watching youtube videos and I think I have decided on a machine to get, which is this one:
The price looks pretty good and it seems to use more up to date software than some of the other Chinese machines out there. I would however welcome your thoughts.
