]OK, so its not in my shop but my son’s latest business venture has made a trotec speedy 400 co2 laser cutter and engraver readily available for the RV project. My wife and I dropped over to his place for a demo yesterday. The engraver has a 24″ by 39″ work area and the front and back access panels drop down to accept larger items such as doors or large counter tops. He had a number of granite and quartz countertop samples on hand so we grabbed an image from the Vans Aircraft web site, did a bit of Corel magic on it and then down loaded it to the printer (laser). It took a couple of minutes to produce a nice coaster. The laser is pretty cool to watch in action. Its quite a step forward from the Roland graphics cutter we have in the shop for doing vinyl graphic work. I am glad I didn’t farm out all the placard work in the project. Now I can do up the art work myself and then send it over to the production shop. Its funny how things turnaround overtime. Used to be he was borrowing my tools….
