    Hi All
    I am from Ireland and i am thinking of buying a laser engraving machine…..
    I do a bit of sublimation printing and want to extend….Mostly a hobby and a few sales….
    I have been looking at some on ebay but would like to buy one from a shop but don’t have a clue what they would cost…
    Could anybody please help me out on where to buy one and a rough idea what they cost 🙂
    Thanks all.

    Price depends on power and size and make , decent machines , in the 30-50w range , 600mm x 400mm are about 10 grand or so. You can get much cheaper chinese machines , but they arent really all that relaible and have glass tubes with limited lifespans. However one of these might be worthwhile if you are a hobbyist…
    I contribute a lot to a very good laser engravers forum
