Re: Laser Cutter

With the quantities and types of material you would typically want to use, a laser cutter is one of the few tools where I would recommend a cheaper brand with more wattage/work area. While not a ULS, Epilog, or Trotec, Rabbit Laser has some pretty good machines for the price. There's also the option of saving some money to build your own.

Note that no matter what you get, you won't be able to laser cut metal anywhere near this price range.
