The laser salesmen will throw rocks at me but here goes - Why would you want to invest the amount of money your talking about for a machine to just cut a few gaskets and play with? Please don't take me wrong but it is a good sized investment in cash and time for the learning curve that you will need to get to the point you want to be.

Could I suggest you contact a laser engraver in your area that will work with you on cutting your gaskets. The laser company reps can even give you a list of there customers to talk with. Most of us who do industrial type work would be glad to discuss your needs for gaskets work out a fair price when cutting multiples of the same product. If nothing else you will gain some knowledge about the process and what it will take to get the proper equipment to meet your needs. I know there has to be several people with lasers in your area.

I apologize up front if this offends you in any way - it is not my intention - obviously you can spend your money any way you please. I just hate to see you make a decision that you might regret in a few months.

If you decide to buy I strongly suggest you look carefully at all the companies who sell and service lasers carefully look at what training, after sale service, tech support and parts availability. Your rep from these companies can be a huge factor in your success. Have each company demo on materials you will be using and do a job you will be running.

I truly wish you the best success.

A piece of my own experience; I bought two laser systems with Access Business Solutions, the second one was a decission made after experiencing the awesome service from the Bosworth family who runs this business. Their lasers are fully operational, refurbished used lasers that come guaranteed for six months usually. The guarantee on this two systems i have has long expired, but Robert Bosworth keeps taking my calls everytime I ring him and enlighting me out of my ignorance.

I strongly recommend checking out his page at www.usedlasers.com

p.s. I didn't receive a dime for this, it's just consumcer satisfaction.

Hermes,

My family and I had dinner with the Bosworths last Tuesday; they were in SoCal on business.

I can attest to them being very genuine and ethical businesspeople.

We also had the pleasure of there visit to our office this morning. We have known and worked with rob and the bunch for many years. I highly recommend them as a good used systems source.

Mike,

I met them briefly in Las Vegas, but getting to know them over dinner was very nice.

Rob's a kick in the "A". :-)

Where is Barnesville PA? We live in Bensalem, a suburb of Philly. There is another laser owner on this forum that lives near Lancaster.

It is about 16 miles south of Leanto on the PA Turnpike...I believe near exit 24A. (devil)
