[hackerspaces] Choosing a laser cutter

[charlie wallace]

the wife and i bought a cheap 100/90W laser from china a few years ago
to install at nsl, it's been fine. 900mm x600mm with Z table from
gweike, push them on price they'll negotiate (the wife won't since it
was from our wedding fund!). we were around $5K usd if memory serves.

pics n stuff.
