A unusual request from someone who should know better. I have a customer who I just fired... I hope anyway. I have done little special jobs perhaps 2 or 3x per year usually less than $50 per job. I wanted to help her start up business.
I told her two years ago to buy her own machine. Frankly she is not techy nor is anyone in the family business.
So is there a simple plug and play laser model like Epilog or ULS sells that she can purchase and get factory support on?
Or some sort of mechanical machine that can trace letters and use something like a Dremel tool motor to engrave on metal tags? Many years ago I used something like that to make tags for electrical panels. So after some searching I found a Vision 12x12 engraver, and there is one on eBay for $4500 or so, but are they any good? Frankly I think she would be better off with a small laser.
