Imagine this subject has been beaten to death but wanted to ask some other questions that I have not seen much around answers on. Just a quick background on my intended use. Mainly engrave wooden blocks, trivets, ornaments. Most of these are words, phrases and sometimes logos. Nothing too involved from a design perspective.
1. Speed - I know Trotec has the faster speed but where would that come into play? Based on what I am doing don't know that the fastest of speed is needed.
2. Software - I know Epilog uses Corel. Not sure if Trotec does as well or if there is more of a learning curve on one vs the other.
3. Power - with mainly engraving and maybe some minimal cutting, is there a minimal wattage that is recommend. I know the Epilog Mini is a 30 watt. Trotec has a 30 and 60 and the rep said 60w would be the better choice.
From an exhaust perspective, would any one have recommendations for either of these. I know the HF 1 HP dust collector I believe would work but I have owned that prior as a dust collection system and would like something quieter than that. The Trotec rep mentioned something about a Turbo Inline fan.
Any other feedback people have between these 2 is welcome. I don't really have an issue with either and imagine I would be happy with either one compared to my 50w eBay I currently own.
