First, thanks for looking. Long story short - I've been asked by 2 wineries to make wooden serving trays, cheese boards, cornhole boards and kitschy signs with their logos laser-engraved on them. (Sounds like a good idea as gifts for family and friends, as well.) So, through Google searches I see a laser engraver/cutter can be had pretty reasonably up to as much as I want to spend. Not looking for an industrial model, just one that turns out 2-3 pieces per day with 4" to 12" patterns on wood.
I know absolutely nothing about them and am looking for some beginner's guidance. What am I getting into that I should be aware of before even making a purchase? What purpose-specific questions should I ask myself before purchasing one? Specs that I should look for? Options/features? Additional tools I should get in advance of trying my first job? Ongoing costs that I should consider?
Thanks for any guidance!
