I have a job that I am currently working on that may make enough money to get me into something new.
It will be a compliment to my shop and in no way detract from the current CNC router world.
In 2004 I looked into an Epilog laser engraver, but it was 18,000 and my blood was not good enough for the payment.
So today, armed with some new skills as a business man and a bit of creative er - negitiating, sales, technical advise, I "might" be able to add a 24x36 with 4" rotary axis laser engraving to my shop. Not used, brandy new.
I am also seriously considering buying an additional 24x36x6 with 6" rotary axis brandy new CNC router.
Water cooled ER20 spindle, T-track table, steel construction.
This will be strickly for sale and not to stay in my shop. FAR MORE robust that a CNC shark, of probotix, or CNC routerparts machine.
I already have a couple of interested "potential" parties lined up for this. Even if not - it will not be a hard machine to sell.
If all works as planned, the Laser machine will be free and clear totally paid for with no money out of my savings account.
Combining the woodworking shop, the CNC Router and a CNC Laser machine really opens some windows of opportunity.
I would be able to laser engrave pens - whooohoooo
How about laser engraved slimlines at $9.99 just as an advertisement, or just hand them out as a jesture of kindness with a handshake and my contact info on it. The cost of a dozen or two pens to gain hundreds of dollars in contracts sounds good to me.
Tell ya what - I will also be watching this one.
