Looks like pretty lightweight engaving, so I'm guessing any machine that had a bed large enough to work the piece you have in mind.

Nice box though. Are you building those?

[ben rose]

thanks man :D and i am going to start building them and just seeing what a good lasering machine is like univesal or something thanks

[Joe Pelonio]

You could get by with 25 watts if that's all you will do, that should keep the cost down, but there's really no such things as an "inexpensive" laser.

okay thanks and i might do a litttle copper and chrome too but i have no idea what is a good machine i am only 15 and have no idea thanks again

[Joe Pelonio]

If you are just 15 and have the $10,000 plus to buy a laser you are to be congratulated on your ingenuity.

Just for the sake of curiousity, do you have permission from the sports teams to use their logos?

[ben rose]

thanks guys and the boxes are just for me and some other people but also i am going to carve on copper,chrome,silver so what do you guys think is a good machine to use and like how many watts and sruff

[Dave Jones]

You're not going to find a low power laser that can "carve" copper, chrome or silver. You'll need to spend probably $50,000-$100,000 or more for one to do that. The low power ones most of us use can mark on those metals using a special chemical called CerMark, which will leave a black mark on the surface.

okay thanks but just like lasering little words on them like your name or something and thanks for all the comments

[ben rose]

oh also just like lasering on a little keychain and a licen plate holder and so on so could i use the universal 25 watt machine and thanks for all the comments
