" Is there money to be made? "

 

This is a labor-intensive type of work.

Depends what your time is worth.

  How saturated your area/market is with competitors matters alot . Also the type customers you intend to attract . If your overhead is controlled , you can make good money as the materials don't cost much . The wear & tear on the cutters is minimal & they are inexpensive to buy & maintain . Many people say " buy what you can afford " .. Me , I say " buy what you can justify " . Really , I think anybody could buy most anything they want if they want to make the commitment .

like roger said it depends on where you are located and the local market . . . earth is a very big place.  first place to start would be to get familiar with working with vector graphics - it will be a different world for you - for a taste download signblazer or inkscape - both free and a great way to learn to use the type of graphics needed.
