The size is a necessity for etching the various sizes of tools we posses. Without this, some tools will not be able to be accomplished. CO2 is the minimum we need to be able to etch the type of metals most tools are comprised of. A fiber laser will also suffice for our requirements but the CO2 is the cheaper between the two types of lasers. Prefer to have a dual source capability but not necessary.
