AM30 Jewelry Engraver Comments / advice

[MWills]

Hello all

I have been looking around ebay / youtube / the web in general to find a machine for jewelry engraving and found this site - which looks great.

I came across the AM30 jewelry engraving machine and wondered if anyone had any knowledge or have used it ?

Its from China so I'm wary of just buying it - it sells for $1,800 + delivery

Be grateful for help and advice re similar UK machines if possible?

Thanks
Paul

Theres another thread started yesterday where similar is discussed, but when I put your machine in Google to look at it, it looks like a basic lightweight CNC of usual chinese quality with associated CNC learning curve, next to it on page was a UK equivalant the Gravograph M20 probably more expensive but for more quality, operation looked simple so maybe be worth a look. Only people I know that engrave jewellry have been in the business for years and I would hate to think what some of their machines cost I do know what they paid for a fibre laser I installed recently and it prompted a Barnsley war cry from me "Ow Much!".

I just googled and you-tubed the Gravograph M20 Jewel. Looks nice.

Would be great to hear from anyone on here who has one / or has used one, to know if it is as good as it looks ?

Thanks
