Epilog Helix Laser Etcher 50 Watt

The Epilog Helix features a top-of-the-line CO2 laser system and provides the highest-quality engraving and cutting of wood, acrylics, plastics, stone, and much more. The Epliog Helix Laser is the number one choice for engravers worldwide with the highest quality motion control system and most features on the market. It is 100% designed, engineered and built in the USA! Included is the Honeycomb cutting table and the rigid engraving table. Machine is factory wired for the rotary attachment but is not included with this machine.We purchased this machine new March 19, 2014 with a 3 year warranty.

It is in excellent condition and has been maintained by the local Epilog reseller (Cutting Edge Systems) the entire time under the factory warranty which expires tomorrow. To ensure this machine is ready to go for the new owner, we had the factory technicians install a new laser tube, mirrors, and lens under warranty this week. This is basically a new machine.The reason we are selling this machine is we need to increase our capacity and have decided to purchase two new identical Epilog Helix 60 watt machines so our techs can use the same settings on both machines. Our new machines arrive the week of June 10 so this machine will remain in service until the new machines arrive to maintain our production schedule. Please plan accordingly.For additional information visit the Epilog website.
