I'm looking at the Shark from Rocker as my first step into CNC hobby applications ... having spent a couple of hours yesterday talking with a sales guy and a happy owner of the same tool .... I've now aware that the unit comes with a Laser Module to complement the CNC carving function.

The Laser engraving is a feature that I want, are there other duel function machines I should compare against the Shark while I shop around?

Is this machine a compromise in either or both it's functions because of it's duel capabilities?

Depending on what comes with the sale it will easily be a $5k purchase .... what do you more experienced guys think.

Thanks,
Tim
