[Design and Technology] destech Digest, Vol 171, Issue 10

Good afternoon Elizabeth,

We use Epilog Helix 75  - 75 Watt laser with 400 x 600mm cutting bed - Works like a dream! 
Fast, reliable, easy to use and as been suggested already, Alfex provide excellent service.

Worth spending the money. We also have a really cheap laser cutter we purchased 5 years ago for $8000 but it needs regular maintenance and wasn't worth the money.

Epilog's are awesome.

Regards,

Subject: RE: [Design and Technology] laser cutters

We have an Epilog laser. We purchased it through Alfex and they also service it for us. Our machine is 50 watt. It is powerful enough for what we need (3mm & 6mm acrylic and ply).

Subject: [Design and Technology] laser cutters

Hi all. trying to apply for a laser cutter but would like help with recommendations and if anyone has any justification comments that would be great too. I have heard that the wattage is important or you end up waiting too long for it to cut.
Thanks all Maryann Augustinus UHS
