CNC Laser Engraver.....HELP?

Post by coolguyashley » Tue Nov 01, 2005 11:53 pm

From what I have seen, the CNC Laser cut cases look a a lot better than hand-cut ones. Most CNC's I have seen are rather large and not for sale. So, I have a few questions....

(1)Where can I find a CNC Laser Engraver/Cutter for making the cases?
(2)How much $$$ I should expect to spend?
(3)Does anyone know if there is a mini- CNC Laser Engraver? (Something that is cost-effective and just big enough to cutout the parts for the cases, because from what I've seen most are really bigger than one would need when cutting small cases.)


THANKS YA'LL FOR ANY INFO!!!
