Hi everyone--thank you for taking the time to look at my post! As I said in the title, I'm about to buy/build a new laser cutter for a fabrication shop (I will be running the laser!). I have a $30,000 max budget and I need a lot of power and a large cutting area so I will be going with Chinese parts (but I learned on a Chinese machine anyway so, nbd). Here is what the machine needs to have: 300 watts (or as close as I can get), CO2, 1 tube (not a dual setup--these seem hard to find?), I want the best tube I can afford ( I need brand recommendations) an 8' x '4 cutting area, other specs not mentioned here are open for suggestion as well, though some speeds close to production level speeds are needed (recommendations here as well, please). Thank you all for your input--please mention this to anyone who you believe has the knowledge to make these recommendations! -- Kevin
