Laser Engravers

[Ledzep]

Forgive the laziness, but Google searches for laser engravers are chock full of BS ads with wishy washy tech data...

I'm looking for a laser engraver on the robust side of "hobby", if not something that's solid for full-time work, and was curious if anyone out there cares to divulge what they're using. US based tech support is a big plus, I'm not really interested in figuring out how to correct Chinese shit.

Looking at doing barrel cartridge markings, Form 1 engravings (.003" depth requirement), etc... Fairly small work envelope that could handle fixed setups (don't think I necessarily need a rotational axis). Stainless/steel as the primary, Aluminum occasionally, and if polymer or wood works great, if not oh well.

TIA

I got a Laser Beam and it makes me Happy

So I grabbed a Laser beam, a little portable style entry-level one and I love it I only wish I got one that does metal now, this one stops just short of dong metal, although I did see a hack I have yet to try. But this thing is fun, I am marking all sorts of stuff I may have to step...

I'd like one just to mark my brass.

I have a Tykma Electrox - 20 watt. CUBE.
U.S. made. Almost twice the $ of a Chinese 50 watt.

Thinking about upgrading to a more powerful unit for speed and really deep cuts on some stuff.

My wife has a Boss laser for crafts. They have good customer support in Florida. They helped me trouble shoot a problem we had and even sent a test resistor for free because we didn't get one because we bought it used. I'm not sure a C02 laser will do what you want you would have to call them but they also offer fiber laser that is more for cutting metal.
