I posted a question in the hardware forum yesterday and it's had quite a few views, but no replies, so I thought I 'd try here as maybe it's more appropriate?
I'm an FFL that is looking for a fiber laser primarily for marking NFA items we manufacture, as well as firearms. When doing a lot of searches many of the results were posts here. I've searched "firearms" and read all the threads I could find. I've also read the "ebay guinea pig" thread, and all I can find about the various lasers. From what I've learned, I think we would be well served by a 30 watt fiber laser.
Looking at the available units, it seems most are using the same, or similar equipment. I'm leaning heavily towards an ebay unit and would appreciate any recommendations on a good seller. SFX lasers has been on ebay in the past, and currently has an Amazon store. Their pricing is higher than other ebay sellers and the listed specs are identical to other, lesser priced units. It sounds like what you get with them is pretty good customer service and a 2 year warranty.
It sounds like getting different sized lenses to fit the common units is pretty easy? What would be a good size to start with? 150x150? We don't have any areas larger than 5 or 6" we need to mark.
Any advice or recommendations would be very much appreciated.
