We are looking at getting a second hand laser cutter

The item

This is the laser cutter: http://bit.ly/lhsLaserCutter

It is second hand, and can cut perspex etc

Additional information

  • Andy Slater has some interesting information on setting up and modifying this class of machines.
  • Another persons set-up/modifications for this type of machine.

The cost

The cost to repair has been estimated by http://hpclaser.co.uk/ to be ~£270

The cost new is about £2300

How much are we willing to spend?

Would 1/2 of its new value be reasonable? £1150

If with the cost of repairs taken off the bid would be £880

(I hope no shill bidder sees this .. )
