Laser Engraver Offer From China

[Pysiek]

I'm talking to 2 companies in China right now. They gave me theirs offers.
Here are specifications of both machines:

Laser Engraving Area: 900mm X 600mm
Laser Power: 60W
Rotary Attachment
Up/Down Table
Honeycomb Worktable
Red Light Pointer
Water Chiller
Air Pump
Exhaust Fan

Company 1 offer: $4,353.00 shipping included
Company 2 offer: $3,650.00 shipping included

I did some background research on both companies and both of them looks real. (please advise me where I do some background research before buying)
Which company would you trust more? Both salesperson are very friendly and both answer questions very quickly and briefly. But why the price difference is so high? ($703)

How do you expect someone to give you an informed response when you don't say who the companies are?

I tossed a coin, company #1!

Zax.

Also I want to let you know guys that I know what you are thinking about the Chinese manufacturers but I will not change my mind and not go with USA made lasers since they are too expensive for me. Also I do not want to make a business from that machine right away so I have a lot of time to learn it and how to adjust everything.

"As I have posted here previously, I bought a laser from china. I did have problems but then again I am a virgin laser person. I CAN NOT say that I would not do it again. Now that I was helped through this site and Im running and learning it is fine. There are those that say all made in China is crap, I dont agree,and thats coming from someone who had issues. Yes the tech support is a little tough to get through with the time change and language, but damn, if you would like to save LOTS of money sometimes you have to put up with more. It works fine.
Why dont people realize that the price differance is not just a little. Thats the problem, its huge. When will people in this country make something that doesnt try to make them millionaires instantly. It always works like this in the U.S.. Until US companies realize there are those competing with them in other countries they will keep ripping us all off. Try looking at US laser companies now. They use to all cost $30,000 and up. Now that China is making a dent , all of a sudden they have some for half the price. Thats the american way, rip us off till we stop buying.
Yes I do believe that US lasers are easier and made very well but China is hurting them and it will help them to price it more realisticaly. Hell, there are people here that make their own, but they get $35,000 for it. How much do you guys who build them end up paying?
I am not a laser salesman, company, rep , etc. I am an end user and I for one am glad there is a source to buy that I can afford and am really glad there are people like Dean at Legacy Laser that are willing to help and guide a newby like myself.
For those that try to prove how bad Chinese stuff is so inferior, dont bother, we all know there stuff is made for a price. Thats the reason your posting shows that you continuously tried . It took you what, six examples of you yourself buying from China instead of US to see that their items are not as good. You kept doing it to save. There are many companies that make things here that make them for a price too and there not as good as other items made here. You get what you pay for no matter what country its made in. Therefore there are good lasers and poor ones made in China, just do your research and figure out which ones are ok.
Maybe when I get really good at this stuff Ill by a US made one for $30,000 but by then it will only be $10,000 for the same laser if they want to compete."

The coin was right, go with JQLaser.

They are a reputable company and also have the better price. I would suggest you work with a freight forwarder to help with the paperwork, and see if they can recommend one they've used before.

Their products are not the highest quality, what I mean by that is the components they select are mid-range. I am not familiar with the quality of Senfeng systems but would not expect them to be any different.

Enjoy!

Okay. I will go with JQLaser (as my first thought). Hopefully the machine will not broke after 3 months

For a few hundred more I can get you a machine that is a good bit larger, 1200x800, with all the same features from a reputable Chinese company, it includes a 1yr warranty. I use this machine daily. The build quality is excelent. And for about $4800 delivered to you, including all import costs except duties, which run about $100 +/- And if you're set on the 900x600 size I can beat that price, let me know if you're interested.
