Laser modules are available ranging from optical power from 2W up to 15W (equivalent to about 60W of electrical power). They offer a wide range of products that fits the needs of any professional who wants a high quality laser system on their CNC. Opt Lasers is what I call “the Ferrari of lasers”. They are all modules made by hand according to the best standards, all tested one by one and that can also provide personalized answers for any needs.

There are a very good sellers called Opt Lasers who do small productions but of the highest quality. If you need laser modules for continuous use, I do not recommend using modules that come with your markers, either those that are cheap on ebay, amazon, aliexpress, bangood, gearbest … All these modules are designed for occasional use and deteriorate quickly if used at maximum power for a long time.

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.
