So, I finally got to the point where I could purchase my laser and now I have a new dilemma. I went to the ISS Show in Long Beach and ordered a Trotec Speedy 400 with a 120w CO2 and I was wondering if it was worth it to get the fiber added now or wait til later? I'm starting out doing this part time and already have 5 customers lined up for business, but I keep getting asked about engraving metal. So, what should I do:
1. Get the Flexx fiber added now. (The things that they want engraved are larger items, up to 32" x 22").
2. Wait til later. (I would save money by having it installed during manufacture.)
3. Get a stand-alone fiber laser.
I have about $25k to play with so what do you folks recommend?
