Hey!
So I'm looking to upgrade my little 1.5w engraver with something a little more potent.
I'm seeing products such as the "NEJE Master 20W CNC Cutting Laser" on banggood for about $250 (Or $150 for the same thing unbranded on Aliexpress) and I was just wondering if these 20W lasers are actually a thing?
That is, ignoring the possibility of the seller ripping me off anyway and supplying something less with a 20W sticker on. Are 20W lasers for the $100 price range actually a real product at all?
Not sure if it's safe to post links on my 1 day old account, but will provide if requested.
As a followup, I hear claims of all sorts of lasers being used for engraving all number of materials. Is there any guide on what I can reasonably expect to do with a given power of laser?
And if 20W lasers aren't a thing. What's the most powerful laser I should be looking at for my engraver?
CO2 isn't an option right now due to space constraints and I can't afford the 2k for a Fiber laser setup.
Thanks for any wisdom y'all can offer!
