what does this laser cost say with a 120 watt
My off-the-cuff guess would be in the $40k range...
mid 30s I would guess
it's right around $54k...
Thats a bit much for just having a deep interest in a laser,i wanted something that could cut say 1/8 to 1/4 wood ,engrave ,etch glass etc.
Have a cnc now tried to get a laser head outfitted to the gantry but all manufacturers were frowning and saying its better to buy the whole unit than to fit a head on my machine.
Myabe i don't have to go 120 watt
That's correct Stan. The Legend EXT is offered in 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 & 120Watts of engraving and cutting power.Quote:

Depending on the hardness of wood, you can cut 1/4" with a 40Watt.
A 120Watt will cut thru the same 1/4" like butta but is not needed. There's also a significant price difference between a 40Watt and 120Watt EXT.

HTH,
Stan:
I have an EXT 40watt and I have really enjoyed it. It cuts 1/4" wood without a problem and 1/4" acrylic. I enjoy the big table, but people here will debate the wisdom of more table opposed to more power. With a 36" table your able to do things that you just can't accomplish with smaller tables. Happy Holidays

I'm getting emails from ULS on their newer large open format industrial system, $27,500 with a 50 watt laser, and this system can untilize multiple lasers.

I couldn't agree more. I have a 38" x 20", with doors that open making the 20" actually unlimited, and 30 watts. I have had quite a few jobs that I could NOT have done with a smaller laser but I haven't had a single job that I couldn't do because of having 30 watts. There are some that would have run faster with more power, but nothing I couldn't do.Quote:

36x24, auto focus ,red dot pointer, usb interface ,100 watt (an extra would be the rotary attachment which does interest me .)
Comes with exhaust fan,air assist pump , water cooling pump,laserdraw software and drivers for corel draw and autocad.
I would like to go to the next size but the footprint is getting to a point where it might be a space problem so i may have to stick to 36x24
Stan, shop around good, there are some smoking deals out there right now.
Excuse me for not being clear. What I mean was in terms of money to spend Scott. Would you be better off to spend your budgeted amount on power or table size? I elected to go with the larger table size in lieu of a machine with more power but smaller. I had to take into consideration what my intended use was and which was more valuable to me. I did some pretty careful research prior to laying out $27k at the time.Quote:
