Craftsman interested in buying a starter laser
Hello there laser cutting community, I am a newcomer here and I have a question that I hope isn’t too stupid to be asking but I feel like you guys can help. I am a cobbler/leatherworker looking to purchase a machine that’s can cut out shapes from various leathers and animal hides. I have knowledge on how to design SVG files and all of that good stuff, I just don’t have ANY knowledge on lasers and the machinery involved.
My budget is under $600 and I don’t want it to be too big. Even portable would work if that’s an option.I would be mainly using it to do some engraving on leather panels and some simple leather cutouts of varying shapes and sizes (like cursive letters for instance).
If there is a certain setup you guys recommend please let me know! Thank you all!
