Engraving Machines

[stevo50]

Hi All

I am looking at purchasing a cylindrical engraving machine went to trophex to have a look around but before making a final decision it would be really helpful from some feedback/advice from people with exprience and in the know.

 

3 companies all interest me, U-Marq, Gravograph and Trotec I must admit the U-Marq - Universal 350 looks the most adaptable and Software user frriendly.

 

I look forward to your views and thank you in advance for your time.

i would say between umarq and gravo

 

my personal fave is the IS200tx from gravo. good all round machine

 

i've never had a play on the Universal 350 so i can't compare them, but i know the vistool software is good as i have a little gem rx from umarq

 

you will find plenty of help for both systems on this forum if you ever get stuck with an issue

 

there is even a vistool owners club on here too. i think you get a wooly hat, a welsh dragon car sticker and some kind of apron when you sign up

 

although i'm still waiting for my membership pack

It's well known that I'm a U-Marq afficionado (thought I ought to qualify the following by saying that first).

I'd recommend the Universal 350 every time. As you've already seen, the software is really easy to use, and the machine is tremendously versatile. A great money maker. \:D/
