One of my pet peeves is quoting laser speeds in MINUTES. It's like grocery store price tags that say 10 FOR $10!! -- makes me grind my teeth...

36,000mm per minute is 600mm per second. 500-600 mm/sec is typical for Chinese machines. My triumph supposedly has a 500mm max, but I run it at 700mm quite often. Any faster and the engraving starts to suffer a bit.

As for insurance, you can insure anything for a price...
