The wife and I are talking about adding a gantry style CO2 to compliment the 50 watt JPT fiber we have. we already have ventilation for the fiber so that's not a worry. I have a rough quote from Debin.tech on a 35x25" working area 90-102watt with chiller and rotary for 4.9K shipped with duties. $200 less for a smaller area and +$200 for autofocus. They are using Rdworks SW
I looked at Boss (LS-146 with the increased working size) and FSL (we are not in the Trotec or Epilog Price Range).
What brands/models do you recommend looking at?
We would be looking for:
- 45 watt?
- autofocus would be nice
- working area: 20x12 should do it, not going to complain if its a bit bigger
- pass though would be appreciated
- mark leather
- mark wood
- pictures on leather and wood (quality would need to be good)
- marking cardboard
- cutting thin cardboard/cardstock (we have a cutter - this might be faster though)
- jigs to hold things on the fiber (doing 100 tags with no multi-piece Jig takes a while...)
- cut about 1/4" thick - mostly wood, acrylic
- rotary for mugs (fiber rotary drives be crazy leaving lines at the split mark)
thanks!
