Thanks for the thorough review, and walk through... it is very informative. I'm in the market.

Thank you so much! We’re still learning, but we are absolutely thrilled with this machine!

How much did that laser cost and how big is the cutting area?

[@tcscustomwoodworks]

Hi Rick, US dollars these machines can range from 15k to 18k depending on what your order with it. However, I will say that these machines come with unparalleled support. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that the cutting space is 40”L x 24”W

@@tcscustomwoodworks if rayjet costs this much. I'm afraid to ask about the trotec brand.

[@tcscustomwoodworks]

@@Z-add I know what you mean. However, you may find some awesome deals for barely used lasers on some trotec laser Facebook groups. They’re worth every penny for the performance they put out. For us, since we cut more than engrave, a glass tube laser made sense. The service, the brand, the components just made sense. Now if you have time to tinker and use other brand lasers and troubleshoot, then you may have a better advantage using a different laser. I can still say however that this thing rocks, and I can always get in contact with tech support without any issues if I ever need them. I think I only called them once or twice because my computer was shutting power off the USB port to conserve energy, they went as far as to connect remotely and manually change the settings for me. I like that.
