$50,000 for the laser and $14,000 for the engraver (I use them every day at work, I don't own them). My CNC mill was $1,800 with accessories which I DO own and is capable if making these blocks. But with the laser it only takes about 5 minutes from start to finish to make the top and middle peice and another minute on the rotory engraver for the cups in the base. Add a few minutes for drilling and tapping holes... If I used my mill it would take an hour or so just to do the jets but it would come out cleaner....
