Mangieb Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hi All, I am finally looking to add a new machine to our collection - starting small scale I have been mainly using MPX90 for small gift items, and recently expanded to include sandblasting for glass items, although I would like another machine to be able to offer more services, for example name plates, possibly industrial plates etc, was considering a VXM - there just seem to be so many options available out there.....perhaps something that does tankards, glass - cylindrical items as well.....?????? Any advice or recomendations from those with previous experience would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 joking aside, there are lots of machines out their but these two always crop up affectionately on the forum, if you can't get a gravograph & need to settle for second best then Stevens is an excellent choice, but either way these are the front runners.

CotswoldEngraver Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 A recent addition here can vouch for what Steve is saying! A sparkling new Universal sat in the office next to the CX4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangieb Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for all the advice - I found several pre-loved machines, although at this stage I am afraid to say they were out of my budget - so I am now the proud owner of a VXM!!! and well I am looking to the future - hopefully will be able to get this paying for itself and hopefully in the 'not-so-distant' future enable me to purchase an is200-tx or similar to be able to offer cylindrical engraving..... Watch this space...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
