Two figures in watts, and only one of them leaves the lens · 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.
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.
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.
If you want signs or larger boards, this is the wrong machine. Look at the xTool M2 or the open-frame models.
