Any advice happily taken on this subject!! Looking to purchase a laser cutter for acrylic decorations . Would be using 3-4 mm pieces of acrylic and approx 8" in size. Only seem to be headed towards chinese websites..can anyone recommend a machine or a company?

Hi I bought a plotter from a business in the north, called MDP supplies.
I don't know if they do laser cutters but it might be worth a phone call, even for advise.
Years ago the place where I worked bought a plotter/printer from china. The machine was good, but all the instructions were in very bad English, so it took us a long time to get it set up right.

How much are you looking to spend?

Amazon have them under €200 - depends on your budget

I went for HPC lasers - up in Yorkshire - went over on a 89 euro ferry deal - saw the machines working. Very helpful. Machine was calibrated, mirrors aligned and ready to go. Home and plugged and away I went. If you're not very tech I'd hugely recommend them.
