I was pretty sold on the Laguna and moving in that direction then I hired a guy who had been running one of their engraving machines and they has a small cnc from them that was a little older and he said they were not very helpful or responsive when they had issues. We will be doing plenty of cutting, but most of what we do is one off low quantity things. I really would like the CNC capability for cutting thick acrylic, wood, hdu etc. It's has been before covid since I have been to a sign show, but at the last one the laguna and the axyz really caught my attention. Having been in the print business most of my life I'm terrified of bad support. I've been through it and would like to avoid it at all cost. I know AXYZ has a showroom 3 hours away and they seem pretty service orriented. I do feel like it is probably a vastly slower cutter than the other two. That is why I was leaning towards the Laguna. It seems like the middle ground and did pretty well at both cutting and cnc work. I guess the other question here is, what other machine should I be considering. I'm in Alabama if that makes any difference on the service side. I really like that sub 100k price point as this will be my first cnc. Also, I will be doing lots of print and cut so it needs to register. Any advice would be helpful.
