I bought a Roland EGX-350 from Ebay and it was DOA. Paypal wanted a letter from a 3rd party expert. I called engraving shops near me and showed them a video of what machine would do on startup. One...

How many watts is your fiber that you engraved the gun barrel?

I contacted an authorized seller, about $20,000. 20 watts.

They look interesting. I...

Seller told me I'd have to contact Paypal or Ebay, he wasn't going to help me.

Paypal refunded me for the purchase price and the original shipping charge. I didn't have to return the machine....

[QUOTE=Rich Harman;2864500]I'm not sure you have a case here, at least not with the information provided so far which is limited to the item being advertised as "never used". Was it advertised as...

How much is the machine? Looks impressive.

From Paypal:

Thanks, did it earlier today.

Ebay policy is I have to give the seller 3 days to resolve it. On Nov 2 I can return it to him. I will.

I've been looking for a new engraving machine for awhile and saw a "never used" Roland EGX 350 on Ebay. I bid on it and won it. $2,800 for a "never used" machine that costs $5999 retail. Great deal?...

That's the other reason I want to attend the show, to see all the big 3 machines in use. Vision engraving and Gravotech will be there too and I like what I've seen of their machines.

I'm planning on buying a new engraving machine soon and I read an old thread on here about trade show discounts. Is it still worth it to go
to one? The thread mentioned a $6,000 discount on a new...

Ah ok, I understand. For "deep" engraving on metal which would be better, a fiber laser or something like a Vision 1624 or Gravograph IS6000. Which is more cost effective? I've Googled this of...

Why is that? Fiber lasers seem to be so fast compared to CO2 lasers. Is a Fusion an expensive good way to go? Best (and worst ) of both worlds? The intricate settings of a fiber laser are a bit scary...

I need to change my signature, I'm in the USA now but thank you for your reply.

I've been thinking about getting a Laserstar fiber laser for engraving guns, knives and other metal items. How well does it do for things like that? What kind of depth can you get on stainless and...

Thanks, I'll try to do that. I don't want the 3rd tube to die.

Yup, I've been wondering for quite awhile. Anyone want to buy my laser with a new tube? hehe :D

Yes I understand that, however being in the Philippines prohibits sending it back for a look. Shipping and customs costs prohibit that option so I'm doing what I can.

I bought a Mini 18 40 watt machine a little over 3 years ago. I've had to replace 2 tubes which were under warranty. Huge hassle and downtime, but at least it didn't cost an arm and a leg. In April...

Thank you for the info. Yes I considered it might be an environmental issue, but I always have an air conditioner and fan blowing on the laser, and also use a UPS. $1,400 is a steep price to pay for...

I did a lot of research before I bought my 40 watt Mini 18 laser. Epilog seemed to have the best reputation and customer service. Universal and Trotec were the other 2 options. I don't use my laser...

Hi, yes I have one of those simple embossing machines ($700) from Ebay. ;) But they don't do the DEEP embossing some people want. Was just curious if there was a not super expensive route to go....

Thanks, the reason I asked is I'm in the Philippines and a couple of places are doing the custom metal stamped stainless dog tags for about $2.50 each in US dollars. Since it's the Philippines, it's...

Hi good am/pm to everyone. I get a lot of requests for "deep" engraving here. A couple of pics are attached of the type a lot of people want. I did a google search but didn't find the answer. Thank...
