Hi all,

I am looking for a new laser and would really appreciate some advice on it.

I will be using it for gifts personalisation and engraving: mainly wrist watches. 99%. Sometimes wood.

Simple engravings as are on the gifts. Sometimes logos if requested.

I am thinking about chinese 20w fiber laser for the task, it is priced about £3500 - £4000, found some for even 2.5k but + custom and vat taxes in uk. and I would like to fit in this budget. Someone has advised that 20w is more than enough.
I have also noticed that my budget would fit 30w in some models.

Am I thinking correctly? Is it a good enough tool for task?

Any advice? Maybe I should look for cnc type engravers? impact engravers like Roland Metaza (do not really like it + lots of customer troubles as per reviews with the head in need to change every 60 - 70 engravings). Any alternatives?

I do really want to thank you for your replies
