Thank you russnewcomer! Trumpf are great, based on our experience (~10 years owning and operating several lasers) Mazak have proven to be really reliable and really low-cost in operating kW + maintenance. That's why we kept the Mazaks. Of course we are using a nesting program that's been leaving something close to 200-300 grams. per stainless steel sheet - and this is the core of our low cost. We tried to explain it as much as possible and give a couple of rules that would save a lot of people from the high heat stuff. It looks that you know a lot regarding lasers and you are more than welcome to stay in touch! Jim

Since you're European, I just wanted to tweak you on Mazak v Trumpf. :) Again, not telling you how to run your business, but I think you may face a large number of unhappy customers because of poor understanding of how laser cutting actually works. I hope someone is manually reviewing parts before you make them, because it would be bad overall if a LaserGist customer's one-off bad part path caused issues on your other parts, presumably for more regular, high volume clients. Really, good luck! I just may order something in the near future. Ships by Christmas?

  Got it about the Trumpf! Of course we are reviewing every single design and approve/decline designs. We don't want unhappy reviews for sure but the "post-production editing" stuff we do saves the common gotchas of laser cutting. Can't wait to try us out - will definitely be there by Christmas (I guess you are in the States, right?)

    USA, yep. Glad to see that you've got all of the obvious wrinkles thought through and planned for. Here's hoping you have to buy a new laser soon!
