Carverall A1 Pro review

A small enclosed Class 1 laser with 5 W of output, a 3.94 × 3.94 inch work area, an HD camera and free CutLabX software.

Small on purpose

Carverall designs this for tags, cards and small gifts. A 3.94 × 3.94 inch area keeps the machine compact, and the enclosure keeps the beam contained.

A power figure with a range

The listing gives 5 W and a measured 5.12–5.35 W. That is a rare thing to print, though it remains the maker’s measurement.

Who should skip it

If you want signs or larger boards, this is the wrong machine. Look at the xTool M2 or the open-frame models.

Questions makers ask before buying

How large can it engrave?

The listing states a 3.94 × 3.94 inch work area.

Is it safe around children?

The listing describes a fully enclosed Class 1 design. This site does not call a laser safe; follow the maker’s instructions.

Our score

7.3/ 10

A tidy, enclosed machine for small items. The 3.94 inch work area is the limit, so measure what you plan to engrave.
