I have purchased from them for years. They used to be called Keling. They are a few miles from me so sometimes I pick up the parts and save the shipping.
John Keling is the owner and we have become friends over the years. He always has my parts ready to go, but it usually takes more than an hour to get out of there because we talk and compare notes.
I have done affiliate selling for him for years through links on my site. Recently we decided to collaborate a little more. He is sponsoring the site with an ad on the home page and he is now selling ORD Bots. We may do more in the future.
I cannot vouch for that laser. I have never seen one in use. It is the same laser you see a lot of places. Several people have used it as a donor machine for 2.x lasers. The controller and software are not the same as the higher end controllers he and LightObject sells.
He has a huge inventory of stepper motors. Those DSP stepper drivers are really nice. I think they are better than Geckos. The motors are silent at rest and don't even jump when you turn them on. They just silently lock. It is pretty cool.
Fullspectrumengineering uses a different machine and now has their own design that is assembled in the US.
