Need some advice...
Starting a new business and buying a new laser engraver in the next few days. I live in the middle of the Pacific on an island and have no chance of visiting a dealer that sells laser engravers. I can only visit the dealer sites, speak to the sales reps on the phones, and then make my decision based on my research to purchase a $30,000 piece of equipment "sight unseen." You can probably sense how nervous I am about this endeavour.
I'm leaning towards an Epilog EXT 60W or Laserpro Spirit GX 60W because of the door feature. I was planning on doing headstones and some other larger items unique to my area. My core business will be awards, engraving, gifts, and some construction projects.
Wondering if anyone has some experience with these specific models and/or the company's support system. Both reps plug their product/company as the best and to learn the truth, you have to ask the people who've been there. Anyone?
Aloha,
Wes
