I have a 40w and a 50w eBay laser engraver.
The 40w was my first laser engraver and gave me great service for 12 months before i burned out the laser tube. (I will be replacing this tube shortly)

I bought the 50w to have an increased cutting/engraving area. I screwed up the settings and was pulling my hair out for 3 weeks before fining learning lab 79 which directed me here.

I am a retired soldier and IT Tech. Grand father and use my laser engraver to do small custom orders as well as making Christmas, Christening, Wedding and birthday gifts for my children and grand children.
