I'm writing on behalf of Turners Without Borders, a committee of the American Association of Woodturners that fosters new links with the worldwide turning community.
We were recently contacted by GreenWood, an organization that helps communities in less-developed areas set up small-scale commercial woodworking businesses. GreenWood asked us if we could help procure a laser engraver for a community in Honduras that makes pens and other office products. The Hondurans want to be able to engrave their pens and begin producing other, engraved items. I'm told that the community has decent electrical service and that the people are reasonably computer-savvy.
I've read the recent threads about laser engravers, and I'm hopeful that you folks can recommend suitable hardware. (I know as much about laser engravers as I do Honduran geography.) Further, I'm hopeful that someone can steer us to a good, affordable used laser engraver.
Thank you in advance for your help and advice. I'll check the forum for replies.
Again, my thanks.
Best,
David Heim
