Wanted to buy RASTER laser machine

[Chuck Kahler]

Julian,
I found a price of $2000 on Alibaba , But I had to buy 10 to get that price.

I will keep looking.
Thank you,
Chuck

you say you only want to engrave. What are you engraving that doesn't need to also be cut??Were you located maybe theres a used machine near you

Good question Bert.

What I meant was as long as I can cut a minimal thickness like 1/8 of an inch, that would be fine.

I actually have a 180 W laser for cutting but it will not do “raster” Engraving.

You can import a really nice King Rabbit laser 40 0r 60 watts well under 3K

Bert,
Can you point me to where I could get a king rabbit 40W for well under $3K.

I’m not finding anything close to that.

Thank you,
Chuck

Speak to the company, they sold me just one machine and even arranged air freight to my door.

This looks like a nice used laser it says year 2000 but the label says 2016

Like they say “you snooze you lose”.

I was working with the seller on a shipping quote and it’s sold during that process.

I’ll keep looking,

did U get my PM

I’m interested in buying a “raster” laser machine for hobby use.

Somewhere in the area of 12“ x 18” bed size.


I’m not interested in high power For cutting, 40 watts would be fine. I mainly want to do raster engraving.

Can anybody recommend something for this purpose

Thanks,
Chuck

Lightobject dot com sells a wonderful 40 watt machine and I have had mine for 2 years or so. Did nothing but open the box and turn it on. Based in California.

Bill,
thanks for the input.

Could you provide the model number of the one that you’re talking about?

Thanks,
Chuck

Its in my Signature line but they changed the name to Solo. Not selling mine, just noting other than unpacking and hooking it up that's it!

Keith,

I totally understand.

I’m trying to get recommendation on a good machine within a given price range, since there are so many laser engraver’s/cutters out there, I need to narrow it down based on real users experience.

Once I get some firm recommendations I will definitely check the classified area of this forum.

I am mainly interested in a raster engraving machine priced at under $3000. 40 W is plenty of power for any cutting I will be doing on it.

So far I have several recommendations but they were all quite a bit above the $3000 threshold.

Regards,
Chuck
