Hi Sean,yeah I paid $5500.00 CAD for a second hand Chinese model.I did get the rotary attachment and slide table with though.They are slowly coming down in price.But yeah very handy.

I keep my power mostly at full and adjust the speed.The light frequency is why it works good on steel.

Hi John,yes for steel the fiber laser works really good.Wood and organic stuff it doesn't work good on.

It has worked really good though.20 watts.A 50 watt would be nice at times.

Hi Tracy,it's a secondhand Chinese laser.Looked for a name on it but couldn't find one.Maybe inside the machine.

Send me your name and logo and the size,I'll then have a ballpark figure.However I only want payment if it works.

I guess I would just need the thickness.I can shape size with my Knifemaking equipment.My laser can give me almost perfect lines to grind to.

If you had the size of plate I could try it on some steel I have and send it you to try.

I can cut into steel about a 1/32 if I go over it a few times.Brass doesn't cut much at all.Can feel it with your fingernail but it doesn't cut deeper with more passes.It just turns black.

Hi Noellaflamme,it does engrave brass and other metals but does not go really deep.I looked online at the plates for the engraver and am on the fence for whether I could engrave deep enough.

Seen your Mark Retroguy,I like playing with my graphics art program so I thought I would throw a few placements for your Initials.Hope you don't mind.

Thank you,Sean.The Idea's been "Buzzing" around in my head for a while now.:D

It's a 20w Fiber laser.
