Does anyone have a solution to lasering the tops of items (Wine Bottle boxes) that are too tall to fit under the laser head (even with the table in the fully down position)?

What size box are you trying to laser on? The wine boxes I have engraved are about 5" tall and they fit easily under my head.
Are you meaning the edges which could measure about 15" ?
Then I could see you having a problem.
The boxes I engrave on are about 15w x 5h x 5d or the double boxes which are about 9d.

You can most likely either remove or dismantle the table for extra clearance .. possible but not adviseable...
Sometimes you just gotta say "no - I can't do it"

Thanks for your inputs Dee and Rodney - I am trying to find the box maker and get the tops (ends) of the boxes before he puts them together - I think the contract will be in the hundreds of boxes, so it is worthwhile to do a little research.
just pull the end off the box. or ask the people if they can give you the box ends before they are put on
