    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.

    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.
