craig you know whats missing from your engraving machine workshop a pantograph & a blaster. I must say that is a pretty line up of choices umm shall i laser today or diamond drag..

how come umarq did not have a 350 at the show and where was umarq mark.

 

no need for a pantograph as i wouldnt have time to use it dont need a blast cabbinet as i laser all my glass i lasered 26 glass awards logo and text yesterday much easier than making stencils and masking and blasting. although i am a big umarq fan i still love my roland engraver and cant see me ever being without it or my rayjet laser.

Got to admit that umarq have a pretty impressive range of engraving machines, easy to use and a no nonsense manual.

I have the universal 300 and the GEM rx5 and as far as i am concerned they are the best on the market for the money.

(that statement will infuriate the gravograph users)

D'oh! Should have concentrated in RE studies at school!

 

Craig, not used that particular model to be honest but the latest Gravograph M20 IQ is pretty quick. Maybe 3-4 times faster than the IS200 for Drag engraving.

 

have a shot at trophex u will se the light and want to get rid of those gravo machines
