Just my 2-cents, I’ve had dealings with Keling and never had any issues. Good company and people. I’m also looking to buy or build a laser cutter. I have discovered that in the US the import fee’s for most of the Chinese lasers 50-80 watt in $5,000 range can run as much a $800-900 depending on how far you live from point of enter. Also, lots of issues with shipping damage. So have a local supplier is a big plus.

That exactly the same one as all the eBay sellers have (even the photos & copy is the same...). That's the 'no-frills' model, no z-lift, no light, no air-assist, no interlocks (!) etc.

With the $150 shipping mentioned it's the same price (interesting...); except you won't have to deal with customs, and you'll get local support.

The only consumable with these is the tube; a new one is about $250 and they last a few years. Prices jumped about 50% not long ago, and the lifespan is really YMMV.
