Hi,
I have been reading a lot of posts about Chinese vs US machines, and I am leaning toward the cheaper option. It seems Hxlaser/Rabbit has gotten the best recommendations on this messageboard. I am looking at two other ones, one with an american distributor, one with an australian. Has anyone had experiences with these, or do they seem like good offers? I am completely new to lasercutting so any help is appreciated.

Here are the machines i am looking at:

Redsail C series (http://www.redsailusa.com/lasers.htm)

Omnisign Plus Pro 5000 (http://stores.ebay.com.au/IT-Connections-Australia)

and
HX-1290SE from http://www.hxlaser.com

The omnisign is a bit pricier but it looks quite nice inside. also has a rotary axis included.


It would be great if anyone has advice or recommendations.

Thanks,
B
