Just curious to know if anyone out there uses a laser to personalize their pens, and if you do, are you happy with it's performance, software, etc? I would like to inscribe my pens, but have heard all kinds of stories about lasers. Some good and some bad. I would welcome any input from the more experienced turners here. Thanks.

This thread should keep you occupied for a while. Plenty of examples included. This is the sub $100 NEJE laser:

If you want to engrave acrylics and not just wood, check here for info on the considerably more expensive 40W laser:
