[hackerspaces] Choosing a laser cutter

[Dominic Canare]

MakeICT just purchased the Rabbit Laser QX1290
<http://www.rabbitlaserusa.com/laser_QX1290.html> after much, much shopping
and asking around. We found this to be a good balance of price and
features, and it came highly recommended from several different sources.

We've been happy so far, but it's only been installed for a couple of weeks.
