We havent got one, but had a demo of the speedy 300 and it was fantastic – definately next on our upgrade list.
Some amazing deals to be had, just before christmas they were around £25k but you can pick one up at the moment with extraction for £17k

Hi Andy,
Thank you for your reply. Without boring you with the details i have the opportunity to put an offer on a Speedy 300. It’s an older version with no Auto Focus or Rotary Arm. Coming from a background using a Saber 404 I’m only familiar with non laser machines.
I’m not convinced that i can find work for this kind of machine. The 404 had a bed size that allowed complete sets of flat cuts to be cut (dependent on cap height) and with a pull through feature you can produce cuts the full length of a sheet.
Any other thoughts? -
Dont worry about the auto focus and rotary attachment, we’ve got an epilog machine here. I dismantled the auto focus as it got in the way and I’ve never had requirements for a rotary attachment. I’m sure you could pick up a rotary seperately if you found a requirement.

Is your Epilog the same sort of machine with the same size work area?
What kinds of things are you utilizing it for? -
The epilog machine is smaller and slower, its 24" x 12" work area.
We work a lot with two ply engraving laminates, rubber stamps, stainless marking etc.
Have a look at the laserbits website it’ll give you loads of potential ideas
