Bright Star Laser - Good Purchase?

[Robert Cowan]

Hello everyone. I just found a laser on craigslist. It's a 30W bright star laser. I actually know the guy selling it (our businesses have worked together in the past) and I trust the guy. It's in good shape and he's selling it for $300 with CW-3000 chiller, computer, and large blower. I think the model is an LG500tt, which has a 20"x12" work area. For $300, it seems like a steal. Any reason I shouldn't get it? I only plan on using it for cutting. I have a K40 that I've tricked out, but it's just a bit small for me.

Have you seen it actually work? Its worth $300 just for the parts if it does.

[Robert Cowan]

He said he'd show it working. Like I said, I actually know the guy, he was one of our suppliers at my last job, I actually recognized his name from craigslist. He's just closing down the business and getting rid of stuff.

Heck,the blower and chiller is worth 300. Buy it

If you already have experience with a K40, then why not? The blower and CW-3000 would make it hard to pass on.

I'm picking it up this morning. You guys are right, even for the blower and CW-3000, that's worth the $300. I didn't realize at first how much nicer the machine really was, with linear rails, much larger cutting area, etc.
