Laser Engraver for Metal?

[NortonDommi]

Had a quick look at YouTube over lunch and on the 1st page a video of LASER engraving popped up? Weird. I had a look and it lead to this site: China Best Deep Laser Engraving Machine for stippling metal and Polymer Guns for Sale - Laser Engraving Machine
Don't knock Chinese stuff before you look at as Chinese companies STILL supply a huge amount of machinery into U.S.A.
I have just been helping a friend import an 8" woodchipper and the company supplies a number of American 'manufacturers'.
There is also the fact that so much of what is made in China is LASER marked or engraved. Starting prices look good too.

Hi. It's probably more expensive now.

A 50 watt fiber laser will engrave .003” depth in a single pass. I have been using a pneumatic dot peen marker to mark the ATF required MFG info but I’m switching to a fiber laser from China. You can get a nice one for under $5k.
