Gray Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Doesn't say anything about software and dongle £3k seems a bit steep. It's an oldish machine. Are you just starting out in engraving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ive been doing engraving for about 2 years now, but mainly keys and shoes, but its starting to take off and am looking for a computer one as my pantograph is a bit time consuming to say the least!!!! Would you not bother with this then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I went from pantograph to Roland EGX300 to Umarq uni300 and have never looked back. It depends on your competition. I think you have to look at rotary. Depends on your budget .......(FFS took me 3 go's to spell budget right) .......I hate spelling mistakes...but the uni 300 is a brilliant machine and the software is so user friendly.

meatball Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Not got any really yet, but getting clubs coming with quantitys and its very time consuming, the two im tempted with are Gem rx4 Or Gravograph m20 Both would do what i need to be honest, but just not sure which would be better Thanks for your time though, really appreiciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 A brand new RX5 is only £1700 more than the machine on ebay. Davenports even supply it with an illuminated "Engraving here" sign, starter kit and training. Spend the extra it will be well worth it in the long run. I think they may even do monthly payment deals on a new machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
