Recently, I have picked up some interest at possibly picking up a laser engraving machine. I initially looked at some used brands like Epilog, Trotec, etc. However, it seems like Thunder engravers are a fairly popular option on this forum and may fit my needs.
After doing some research, it seems like what I may want/need is a 100w laser engraver. I am looking at possibly engraving metal/plastic that are used on firearms.
Just basing on what I have found, I would be trying to engrave aluminum primarily to roughly a depth of .003" and greater.
Hopefully you guys can guide me with some additional information or things to look for that I could do some further research on.
Thanks!
