Quick Intro
Hello there...today my laser arrived so I thought it would be good to introduce myself instead of lurking the forums. Great place by the way.
I've been in the awards business for awhile now but 5 years full time. I do a little bit of everything.....diamond/rotary engraving, sublimation and sand blasting. Tonight, I just broke the crate open and assembled the laser. Still have to move worktables, install software, get the exhaust hooked up and anything I'm forgetting. The weekend is going to be busy! oh, anyone interested in a Dahlgren Wizard II? She's a beauty  -Dave

Thanks for the tip...I'll get the for sale post up there later.
The Wizard was a great machine but I have a Vision system that is just a little bit faster  The laser is a Universal 18x24 table 50 watt tube. I'm familiar with Corel and a bit with Illustrator and Photoshop as well. It will be used mostly for acrylic awards. I'm sure I'll find a couple more uses for it soon enough. Today, the machine is hooked up and everything checks out. Although the electrician won't be in till Monday or Tuesday to run the extra power outlets. Pictures will happen after I get a new camera. -Dave

Welcome, Dave! Just so you're aware, you'll need to be a contributing member before posting for sale ads in the Classifieds section. Well worth every penny (and then some).
