LaserPecker - real name. Is anyone familiar with this equipment? Price doesn't seem too bad. Comments?
I've seen some ads for Glowforge and it seems interesting. I had the opportunity to use a big Epilog for a brief bit and it is a very capable machine. The Glowforge looks like it might be easier to site and with competition the prices may come down.
It's a horrible machine by all the reports I read on laser engraver forums. They censor the comments on their forums so you have to research deeper to find all the issues. It's no faster than the cheap Chinese lasers sold on eBay. For a while it couldn't even cut to the full size of the bed. I don't know if they fixed that or not. As Roger said, at 1.6w a laser won't much more than cardboard and leather. I had a 25w ULS laser for years.I've seen some ads for Glowforge and it seems interesting.
