    you can also consider a subtractive engraver that removes the metal from your substrate.

    • May as well just go with a well-tooled CNC, which can do that and more besides.detritus
    • it's cheaper than replacing tubes and chemicals.omg
    • ?detritus
    • The grass looks greener for a cnc machine that can carve over a laser. I've had to buy 5-6 tubes in my lifetime, each one costing me $500+omg
    • You should buy American, then :) My tube's lasted over 8 years... But then it cost me a fucking fortunedetritus
    • Mind you, now I've said that, I bet you it dies this week...detritus
    • I could have shelled out for the pricier tubes to save 30%, but after one froze in the winter and broke. I'd worry about buying them. USA made may be betteromg
    • ... lucky for me, I'll be getting the space needed for a CNC. I just need to Build a Wall to prevent sound and dust from bothering the neighbors.omg
