It’s worked great, though the software leaves something to be desired - but it is entirely workable. I wanted a bit more power and a larger engraving area so I got a NEJE Master 3500mw laser. Later I designed and 3D printed a rotary adapter to do multiple lines or images on a pen. It engraved most woods and as long as the text was small it would personalize a wood pen. It was dirt cheap, used floppy disc steppers and had a minuscule engraving area. Years ago I got a NEJE 1000mw laser to play with. That said, I’ll share my experience and journey. It takes lots of hours to begin to understand the options, the pros and cons, and to begin to formulate basic parameters for your needs and then to explore machines with appropriate capabilities to meet those requirements….and lie within your budget. Google is your friend and YouTube is a wealth of information. And for the same machine - one person might say it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread and another would say stay away at all costs. ![]() There are likely as many answers as people responding and likely none that’s really a fit for your situation….or put another way, the answer is - there is no answer. Your question is so general, it’s kind of analogous to - what car should I buy, what pen kit should I buy, what lathe should I buy, what scroll saw should I buy, what air compressor should I buy, etc. ![]() I've also seen Atomstack P7, xToolD1, and a bunch of others advertised. I know a guy on the east coast that uses a NEJE, ?, and it works for him. I've never been around one.Īny ideas from those that use one? Or those that have used more than one and can tell me what brand/model to stay away from? I know what I would like to be able to do.but have NO IDEA how to go about it. I use Inkscape with my scroll saw stuff and that would be a plus, or maybe GIMP. Must be EASY to operate without having to buy software to run it. If it works out I may upgrade later when I know exactly what I want to do with it! Must be low cost! With scroll saw art, pen making, ring making I can't afford to dump a ton of money into this right now. I would like to be able to engrave on leather, glass, metal, etc. I want to engrave on all woods and acrylics/plastics. I want to add a name or such on some of my scroll saw work. ![]() I want to personalize, or a company name, and/or logo on a pen/pencil. Most threads I found were about a problem.or I couldn't understand what they were talking about! LOL I m look at adding a laser engraver to my shop.
