Please add me to the drawing. Thanks!

Can you imagine the 3D carving that thing is capable of? :eek:

Scott,

I have a Verizon UML290 that works pretty well. I pay $50.00 a month for 5GB of data. The reception where I work is spotty but, by using a USB extension cable to raise the modem, I get...

Brian,

I've been looking for a Chinese laser for a while and have read through the last two years of posts here and there is another Chinese Laser manufacturer that makes a machine large enough...

Sign me up please!

Daniel,

I too am looking at getting a Weike laser later this year and I have a few questions.

How did you contact the sales rep? (I.e. webpage, e-mail or skype?)
Where are you located? East...
