Hi Guys,

Just thought I would give you guys a quick run down on what I have done and then hopefully you can give me some gidence on what I need to do to get my next project up and running.

I have completed two CNC Routers with spindles and all the jazz
1st was a 480x480 CNC router steppers 540 Geco driver spindle etc
2nd is a 1200x900 CNC router and have removed the z axis and spindle from the first router and put onto this router for the time being.

So what I have is the small 480cnc and was thinking of adapting it to a laser engraver but am unsure it it would be worth doing.

So I guess the next question is what do I want to do.

I want to engrave on champagne flutes/glasses and also pens as well also cake knives for weddings etc.

I am already have a small home business and want some value adds to my product lines.

If I upgraded the little cnc router could it do it?
I have been looking at the speed of a lot of these Rabbits etc and am not sure if an upgrade of the 480 CNC would be the best idea as it may not be fast enough I can only really run it a 9 meters a min accl and decel worries me at those speeds.

I am sure a rabbit could be used for the pens could it do flutes as well out of the box would I could modify it if need be?

I would get something bigger a little down the track if all works out as I would like to be able to cut thick acrylics and ply etc but want to start out small and if the value add works and I can up may product sales I will probably get a bigger machine if required.

I dont my who answers all are welcome even the Chinese sellers I have to make my mind up over the next few weeks as I really need to get moving before xmas actually looking at the date I am leaving it a bit late anyway

PS put a pick of first router to give you an idea.

Thanks
