Can Anyone recommend a laser engraver?

Post by Gaz »

Ok, I'm toying with the idea of getting a new, toy. I a 24" laser engraver of some kind. I would like to be able to do my own reverse-engraved plexi panels as well as turret boards (not sure what material I could use), and some other non amp related junk.

Does anyone know of a good one? If I end up getting one, I could offer you guys cheap 1 off panels. I'm just sick of paying $.50/per inch or whatever for a faceplate. I'd literally rather sell a few things and drop the dough.

Thanks for any advice.

This is the one I use:

http://fslaser.com/48x36-laser-engraver-and-cutter

it really works best with the C02 tube upgrade though ( i think its like a 40 watt tube? dont hold me too that)

This is what I make all my faceplates with.

I think a CNC router would be more useful.

Something like the CNC Shark can engrave, carve, and do inlay.
