Needing another engraver advIce

[Craig Gardner]

We are now heavily into engraving I run 4 rotary machines and two trotec co2 laser engravers but am needing a third laser engraver looking at a speedy 300 flex here http://www.troteclaser.com/en-US-GB/Las ... flexx.aspx. This would give me another co2 but with the option of fibre built in. Any if you guys using fibre engraver speed would be great but at £32,000 plus vat it will be 40k with some accessories any advice I love co2 laser and fancy moving forward with fibre

My advice (covers competition machines as well as ours)

 

What IF something goes wrong with the machine? Then you're left with a machine that can't do anything. At least with seperate machines you have a back up should something fail. Also, what about the inevitable rush job? Sorry sir, you'll have to wait until I've engraved all these star lighters. Come back tomorrow.

 

Separate machines all day long for me

I know what you are saying but I have another 2 trotec co2 lasers that machine would basically be a back up and a handy busy period machine with a fibre option aswell. Kev what do you think about fibre engraving no space for 2 more lasers in shop how many shops do you know with 6 soon to be 7 engravers
