    After much ado... A Trotec 400 is in my future.

    After a little handholding and advice from you the Members, I'm delighted to say that I have an 80w Speedy 400 on order. Looking forward to having a pro laser in my shop. The Weike I have has been fun and challenging but it certainly gave me a love of lasers and now I hope to venture out into the tenuous world of starting a business. Thanks all for the tons of advice and tips posted on this very valuable resource. Cheers everyone and a special thanks to Gary, Scott, Dave S.

    Congratulation Neville, that's a big step, from Weike to a Speedy 400. I'm sure you'll hone your lasering skills to a new level with that thing. It's a monster of a machine.

    If you have questions once you get it, don't forget to pop in here and ask. There's a lot of Trotec users on here these days.

    Real name Steve but that name was taken on the forum. Used Middle name. Call me Steve or Scott, doesn't matter.

    Congratulation! That is a nice machine! I've got the Speedy 300 80 watt, and love it. I think you're going to be very happy you went with a Trotec...

    I'll add my congratulations as well. You have chosen wisely Neville and I'm a bit jealous of your Speedy 400.

    Great choice, as someone who did the very same upgrade you have a few things to unlearn, but do much to look forward too.
