Do your research and make sure you know what kind of laser you are looking for.

Both of my lasers are diode lasers, they are cheaper and last much longer than CO2 lasers, but they can't cut clear, white, blue, translucent or metallic acrylic (although some craftsman have found tips, tricks and ways around those rules).

Check out this post on Laser Cutting Business, it goes through the different types of lasers.

If you've already been researching lasers and you've decided on xTool, now is the time to get one!
