Taking the leap and purchasing a Boss 1630. I've done my due diligence and am pretty happy with the laser choice (though I know there are pros and cons of each possibility).
That said though, I'm more curious about what the first few months of trying to make money doing the laser etching and engraving will be like. So, if you could give yourself some advice on day 1, what would it be?
A little background to put things in perspective (if it matters to anyone):
I've run a successful business in the service industry for a little over a decade. And I do a lot of the custom furniture and small remodel jobs for that business myself so over the years I have pretty much built up a full workshop (table saw, miter saw, band saw, routers, planer, etc etc). I also know how to run a business, so no issues there. But I would like to grow this into something that is profitable, pays off the laser in the first year or two, and hopefully is something my significant other can run at times I get busy.
