Often you will find indicated a power that is the electrical power, this value is about 4 times the optical power, so 5W can be called 20W and therefore could mislead you. Please read carefully! I am talking about optical power: the only real important value. * xTool does not use LaserGRBL but proprietary software WHAT ABOUT LASER POWER?Ĭurrently ( July 2022) is it easy to found laser module with powers from 1.5W to 20W. Here you can find a list of brand which I have personally tested, and I can recommand.įor each brand I did a review, and you can read my opinion about their product line.

It’s not nice to spend some money and feel abandoned when there is a problem with the product! I suggest to focus your research on the well known brands, because unknown brands hardly offer quality products and after-sale support. Support: availability of material (guides, videos) and support channels (email, website, facebook) and spare parts Laser quality: availability of more laser options and upgradeability to more powerful models Machine quality: materials used for build the frame and overall robustness

I suggest you which parameters to check for the choice of your first laser engraver. Laser engraver market is full of products: some of excellent quality, others of very poor quality.
