I'm trying to figure out who to buy my Chinese laser machine from.
I have the specifics worked out but I find each seller has just a little twist on the product.
The other problem is getting the machine into my shop, I don't have a roll up door or any door wide enough.
one challenge at a time.

Welcome Gary - there are several reputable deals with tech support in the US - i am partial to Boss. I have been very happy with the equipment and tech support when I had a question. Rabbit is a pretty good outfit as well.

Hi Gary,

I got a 80W chinese red & black and it came in through a 29-1/4" doorway.
With the stand unbolted it's only about 24" high, so by standing it on end it made it just fine.

I got it up 3 steps, through the narrow door, around a corner, and up 1 more step and through another slightly wider doorway.
I had to put down some 2x4 "rails" and use PVC pipe rollers to get it across a dirt/gravel driveway, then ramps and rollers to get it up the steps. It actually went pretty smoothly.

Good luck!

I still like the Thunderlaser Nova 24 for what that's worth, though I'm told that it is actually made by GWeike.
