I'm not sure exactly where this post fits, but here goes:

I'm seriously interested in Laser Cutters.

I've looked at the VersaLaser and it seems like a decent versatile product.
I'd appreciate any other product recommendations.

A few questions:
What sort of materials and material thicknesses can different wattage lasers handle? (Common ones being 10W, 25W, 40W etc.) How long do the lens last? How long do the machines last? What sort of running costs are there? Do parts need to be replaced often?

Any other tips, things I should know?
