What is that, the wayback machine?

 

[Fiddo]

I think it's a laser engraving machine.

I think it's a laser engraving machine.

This - possibly custom engraving on bridges?

Looks old school but it is actually about 1 year old.

Correct! It is a laser engraver / cutter

I wish! You need a very very expensive fiber laser for that, this bad boy is a Co2 laser which I am going to mod to go maybe 60-80 Watts. To even etch metal with a Co2 you need to go into the hundreds of watts. But hay your number 1 with a suggestion.....:thumbsup:
