Jay at JTech is also really good with tech support and returning emails, you won’t get that from eBay or Alibaba. As was pointed out above I ended up switching to a CO2 laser for production work, but the little diodes are pretty cool for doing one-offs or if you’re just engraving your finished works. I always say that it all depends on what you wanna do, right tool for the job is always going to be the “best” regardless. Case in point, I can’t afford to own a CO2 laser with a bed as big as my XXL, so it’s going to win on larger engraving jobs. My path fortunately moved to cutting lots of smaller items really fast, so my 12x20” bed on my CO2 laser works out perfect!
