In another month or two I am going to get set up for engraving. Have a couple of questions, that will probably bring up more questions:
1) the 1,000 or the 1,500? The 1500 only seems to be a little bit more price wise. Will the "extra" power cause any problems (or be a benefit)?
2) I am planning on ordering a replacement laser - sounds like they can burn out on occasion. Does that make sense to get a replacement?
3a) Do you fill in the engraving with paint or something? Or leave it as is? I would think a CA finish wouldn't be shiny unless you fill in the engaving and then apply a smooth finish. The answer probably depends on what the client wants.
3b) I've read that you should put CA on BEFORE you engrave. Do you then have to reapply the finish? (I would think so, but wanted to ask)
4) Yes, I am going to get one of the pen rolling attachement things from T Shadow.
Thanks!
