I have a Roland EGX300 (wanna buy it?!), best advice is save your money and buy a proper engraving machine!

I didn't want to be the one to say it, because I have no hands-on experience with the engraving machine in question, although from what I've seen, you've given some good advice. :-)

It is the signs and "gifts" that may be the determining items.... What size signs and are you including round items such as glasses, mugs, etc. in your gift list?

To: UncleSteve [#28] 20 Feb 2007
In answer to your questions Yes yes yes I want to do must gift items
and for the signs i want the flexibility to do most popular signs sizes, what do you think that will be? I'm new to this business so I don't know what in demand.

The good news it that you have eliminated MANY of the offered lasers from your list.
You will have to concentrate on machines with a rotary attachment to hold and rotate the blanks and determine how much depth you will need.
I do NOT use a laser but am responding from what I DO know about engraving and the work I have seen done on both rotary and laser machines.
As for the signs, that I will have to leave to the sign makers here as to what is the LARGEST sign that would fall into the "most popular" range. I know it would include 9x12 - 11x14 at least.
Hope this helps.... :D

I 'm not sure if I told you but We will be getting a laser machine with rotary attachment.
So what you are saying is that We need one too for the rotary; exact.

The laser with the rotary should do the job for most of the work.
Just watch the holding vice size and rotary clearance....

Ray,
I assumed the info required was for a traditional rotary for diamond and cutters.
There are a lot of makes, (New Hermes, Vision, Newing Hall etc...) out there. Here in Australia the Roland is the cheapest, I bought on price (dumb),
IMHO. you only get what you pay for , my flatbed isn't, the vise grip doesn't and the software supplied is ordinary. My advice is pay more for quality.
kind regards Clive.

I just visit your web site and would like to know who is your supplier for the medical bracelet and medical pendant.
I can't find them on the net. :/
