I'm pretty sure it was right around 80K, and that was a while back. There are cheaper brands but beware the cheaper the price the more problems you will run into. Some are water cooled and that's a hassle. Like anything else, try to get the most for your money, but don't get taken. :thumbs-up:
We have a similar laser at work (different brand)
There are a lot of materials that are not laserable, like anything with a PVC base. PVC outgasses chlorine which will destroy the laser and sucks for your health. Also, a CO2 laser doesn't have enough umph to engrave metal, you need Fiber laser...
