2 Watt vs 7 Watt

Post by TPA2022 »

I have a good idea but could I get some input on if the 2 Watt Laser is going to be able to do any photo engraving or is that the realm of the 7 Watt. I have the Shark CNC.

I have the J-Tech 7 watt and it works very well for photo engraving.
However, I know many people have 2 watt lasers and get even better quality.
Take a look at Norton's Den of lasers on face book.
Here's a couple of my pieces done on white tile
