<div dir="ltr">I would agree with Brendan. The emblaser is great to show students how a laser works but useless for class room projects.

It’s sooooo slow to cut. Lacks power. Better to fork out the money for a real laser cutter. Epilog slashers are brilliant. They are expensive but so much more reliable.<br>

Hi everyone, Juley Karis has a question - Has anyone recently purchased an EMBLASER 2 [engraving laser diode machine] and or a MakeBlock LASERBOX Pro CO2 Laser Cutter & Engraver? We'd really appreciate some feed back on how is goes and what the support service is like in Victoria. We are struggling a bit with our current laser cutters and are looking at alternatives. These are supplied through CD-Soft education resources based in WA. I'm hoping they are not too good to be true. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Juley Karis on <a href="mailto:jka@mornsc.vic.edu.au" target="_blank">jka@mornsc.vic.edu.au</a> with any comments.<br>
