Hey folks, just searched the archives to see if anyone talked about laser engraving on the list, and lo, look what thread is live!<br><br>I have heard nasty things about off brand laser engravers, nothing from recent enough memory to regurgitate it, though "burns out quickly if constantly used at full duty cycle too frequently" comes to mind, which stands to reason and is completely understandable (and applies to Epilogs as well.)<br>
<br>I have tons of experience with Epilog, but that's the easy answer and stinks of "No one gets fired for buying IBM." I taught laser engraving at Techshop, including document authoring and
DIY Valentines Chocolate classes (nummy!) <br><br>I am highly interested in helping out here. I am certain that this will become the most popular machine in the building. Anybody wanna get together and talk about laser engravers? I have some contact with a vendor that sells engravers, new. I was helping a friend shop for an Epilog Zing.<br>

Some folks have had success with cutters built and shipped out of China<br>
(Red Sail), but for the most part nothing good apparently comes out of<br>
that country that you'd want to strap to a shark.<br>
