So I am looking at a couple machines (full size laser cutter) and I have a call to make on older vs newer models of the same machine. So if you have the time let me know your opinion.
So on both models all the drivers, controllers, laser tube and such are the same. below if the main differences.
NEW MODEL:
> Has a newer Laser head design (German copy I think)
> Swiss Steel belt
> Very nice Knife table
> Newer stronger body
> Does not have Auto focus
> Does not come with Honeycomb table
OLD MODEL:
> Has standard Laser head
> Has auto focus
> has the ability to use a honeycomb table.
So for me I cut a lot of small parts and don't want to have to fish them out of the table so the honeycomb is kind of nice their. So then the Autofocus, I dont have it on my current unit so I have no real experience with one. So which model would you choose and is the Autofocus a really must have option. I 95% of my work is with cast acrylic.
