The Epilog Mini 24 is constructed of a 24" x 12" engraving area, holds items up to eight feet tall, and comes in wattages of 35, 40, and 45. Its control panel is easy to understand at first glance and convenient, with one-touch controls for all of its features, including its stamp and 3D-engraving capabilities. It comes with Radiance high-energy optics, which shape the laser beam as sharply and accurately as possible. It also has a red dot pointer to give you a visual reference for where the laser will etch or cut since the beam is invisible.
The "air assist" feature removes all heat and combustible gases from the cutting surface so that your laser cuts will not blow flames or scorch or char your subjects. The laser system will even set the precise height for your engraving with its auto focus, and its vector grid will lift the cut material off the table so it won't get burnt. The device's vacuum table will hold down material that won't stay flat on its own. The lasers move at high speeds made possible by servo motors, and their engraving accuracy is unparalleled as a result of the linear encoders that perform motion-controlled synchronization for flawless detail.
Epilog lasers will work with Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. For more lasting and expeditious accomplishments of projects, it is recommended that you have 512MB of RAM, a 20GB to 30GB hard drive, and an AMD Athlon or Intel Pentium IV processor (or another processor with a speed of at least 2.0 GHz).
Epilog will engrave most materials and cut wood, paper, plastic, rubber, cloth, leather, fiberglass, cork, acrylic, matte board, pressboard, wood veneer, mylar, delrin, melamine, and corian. Made in the U.S.A. since 1988, the Epilog Mini Laser Cutter costs more than $15,000, but if you think this is too much for hobby purposes, you can always utilize it to make money and pay yourself back.
