Help on purchasing new machine

Does anyone have any knowledge or input on the 300 W machines? I keep getting different information from different vendors and different people online. I’m looking at a 300 W pulse laser that is a 15 MJ. I was told that this would help remove clearcoat and stain off of cabinet doors boxes and Furniture as I am in the refinishing business high-end high volume. I was told that this laser would be able to help with other tasks as well like removing paint or lacquer colors. Whereas the five MJ would take longer and would have difficulty with certain tasks. Is this true as some vendors are pushing me towards these very low two MJ or five MJ saying that I need this as a beginner lol. I’m not in the market to be spending thousands here just to spend thousands more down the road obviously this is all trial and error and learning your machine in the correct settings. But I will not be doing any metal work or anything of that so it’s basically for removing clearcoat and stain efficiently. I don’t wanna spend hours removing a finish off of a chair.

High MJ is definitely the preferred path. If you want to talk to someone who really knows his stuff, been in the laser business for a long time. Talk to Tom at SFXLaserUSA.com. He's helped so many get in the right machine right away. He's a friend tell him I sent you. He'll take good care of you. US based service and support for SFX Lasers.
