<div>Hi Dean</div>
<div>We have had a laser cutter for about 3 years now. It was purchased from Origin Laser. Ross was and continues to be very helpful. It has a 600 x 9000 bed. It cost approx $15,000 brand new. He also sells the smaller version. It is worth going over to Oakleigh,
where his business is located, to have a look and see a demo by Ross. Alternatively, come and look at ours.</div>

2<sup>nd</sup> hand for about $10,000. You need to check the amount of hours the laser tube has left as this is expensive to replace once they go (so I have been told).
