Versalaser 30w Vs Epilog Mini 35w
Any comments on these two machines. Universal says their laser tube costs $800 to recharge. Epilog says they have the best laser that cannot be recharged but lasts a long time then you replace it - big $$$.
The Aztec Calendar Epilog sends out as a sample looks about as good as anyone could ask, while some of the other companies samples do not look as sharp.
Servo motors Vs Stepper motors any clear winner or do both have problems be it cost, accuracy or long life?
Now I hear that the supplied driver for the Versalaser does not allow for complete power and speed control and that you must buy the upgraded driver if you want total control. For >$10K I would expect total control.
I am also concerned when a company lists color options of the case in their specs as seemingly more important than info on the laser tube.
The engraver would be used mostly for wood and black marble.
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks to all for the help - Went with Epilog
Very nice machine. Looking forward to learning a lot.
