Thread: Laser Engraver

Gidday Amos, Now I know where to send a pen when I get a stupid idea on a pen...LOL

no seriously great job. If you don't mind share how much did that set you back and where did you get it??
bye Toni

Oooh, now I have a tutor when I can finally afford a laser! I'd love to be able to sell enough of this box elder to get one. I may have to cut down that other tree to do it, though!

Nice gloat and great looking engraving. How'd you get the gold in there?

Very nice Amos and what a way to start with using Heidi's last stick

I have been looking around but have not found anything that was really affordable

You have cornered the pen engraving market

I went out on a limb with this one, cost $2500, plus $96 freight, freight depends on the area you live in. I didn't dare tell my dear wife or family as they would have thought I was crazy, however a little hiccup occured and they found out! Did i cop a caning, no we are not rich, and the shop rent hangs in the balance, but i am working extra hard to try to balance the budget again. If you want to buy one, don't go through ebay, go through me, send me a PM. Attached is the photo. If you want something engraved just pay the postage and $5, I will try my best. Amos

Laser looks great, I have been naming pens with letraset on the clip,will post pic when I can work out how

I forgot to mention, I am trying to negotiate with the supplier to be their agent, I really do have Wood Turners in mind, and am trying for better prices, I did a phone around before I purchased and found that this particular machine is as good as machines that are going at around $5000, so as i said i went out on a limb and purchased one, I was impressed so have begun negotiating to be their agent.

Karl, that is the way it came out, it is Huon Pine underneath, finished with Shellawax and one coat of CA, then I engraved and that is what it looked like, Amos

I am now an agent for the Katana Laser Engraver, it is the same one as seen on Ebay, except if you get it through myself I will pass on the saving of the Ebay fee that is factored in the price. Amos

Nice one Amos, just might have to call in and have a sticky

so do you know yet what kind of prices we will be looking at. even though it won't be at the moment it is handy bit of information store away for one day
bye Toni

Toni, price is $2500 plus freight ex Brisbane, freight can be 60 or 80 or 100 or more depending on location. If you get it through me I will try and pass on any savings from third party fees. Also, bear in mind, you would need a desk for it, also access to a computer with parallel port for the printer. It doesn't have to be a fancy computer, an old Pentium 3 would be good enough, also an older cheap laptop, I tried a laptop pentium 2-233 mhz! now that is pretty old, can get them for around 150. Also you need a bucket with water in it, or a container with a narrow top, the machine has air exhaust and water cooling of the laser tube. Amos

DJ or any Forum member is welcome, but let me know if you are coming. Amos

congratulations Amos.

Good luck with your venture Amos.

Hope it proves a worthwhile exercise.

Allan
