Hi Steve Berreth here. I have a 50watt chinese blue white laser I bought off ebay a three years age. I use it to cut parts for RC models and misc things as well as engraving on some wood working projects I do. I am pleasently surprised how well the laser works. I am still running the original tube that came with the machine and although I am sure it has lost power, it still works for what i use it for and will still cut 1/8 hardwoods. Russ's training videos have been great for learning about the laser.

Welcome Steve- these machines are very capable. You are not a new user but we always advise saving your Vendor files as they are a hassle to replace. Gene
