I have been researching laser engravers/cutters vs. desk top CNC machines for various small tasks, such as cutting out model airplane parts. I am leaning toward the laser, as I have a nice 9X42 Bridgeport mill than can be made into CNC for metal working. It already has DRO. CNC would not increase its capability for me very much, since I have an 11" Troyke X,Y and rotational table on it. It would be neat to be able to mill a complete panel with labels, though, from time to time.
The laser cutters in my price range (<$3000 USD) all seem pretty generic. Is there any real difference between them, except cutting size?
Does anyone have real experience with these 40 to 50W CO2 machines from China?
Thanks.
John
