That's for a very very good one. The laser requires a perfect temp to maintain a quality beam. If the laser tube is allowed to warm up or cool down during the engraving it can produce bad results. It is a very good chiller. I am not so sure you need one that big for this job as it is cooling an entire laser tube which puts out well over 100watts of heat. Also this thing is huge, It is about 3 feet long and 2 feet high and 1.5 feet wide. Not light either. Guess one could browse google for info.
