ELIDOR Z6 12 W, 300 × 300 mm area review

A 2.13 kg open-frame diode engraver with a 300 × 300 mm working area, whose title carries two power figures, 12 W and 60 W, and whose listing never says which one is the beam.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

The bottom line A light engraver with a generous square area and a clear software list. Its power figures are the problem: two numbers, no explanation, and a speed printed in the wrong unit.

The Z6 listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: a 0.06 × 0.16 mm spot with working accuracy to 0.01 mm; a 12,000 mW laser diode and a maximum movement speed of 500 mm/s², working wood, acrylic, leather, card, ceramics and glass; quick assembly, a 300 × 300 mm area and 2.13 kg; LaserGRBL and LightBurn on Windows, macOS and Linux with NC, DXF, BMP, JPG and PNG files; and project ideas with after-sales support.

Two wattages in the Z6 title

12 W and 60 W sit side by side. The second bullet ties 12,000 mW to the laser diode and says nothing of the 60 W. The site’s reading of laser power needs to know which number is light leaving the module, and on this page neither is identified.

A speed in the wrong unit

The second bullet gives 500 mm/s². That is acceleration, not travel speed, and it cannot be compared with the mm/min or mm/s figures other engravers publish. Whether a unit was mistyped or the figure really is acceleration, the page does not settle it.

What the ELIDOR listing leaves to the buyer

No cover, no air assist and no laser class. The third bullet uses the word safe in its heading and describes only assembly, size and weight.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 199 € to 209 €.

The American and British Amazon stores returned no entry, so the buy button there opens a search rather than a missing page.

Where it earns its place, and where it falls short

Strengths

A 300 × 300 mm working area at a light 2.13 kg
Publishes a spot size and five accepted file formats

Compromises

Two unexplained power figures, 12 W and 60 W, in the same title
Maximum movement speed printed as 500 mm/s², which is a unit of acceleration
No enclosure, air assist or laser class described

Questions makers ask before buying

Is it a 12 W or a 60 W laser?

The title carries both, and the second bullet names a 12,000 mW laser diode. The listing does not say whether 12 W is optical output or what the 60 W describes. This page reports both figures and treats neither as the beam power.

What does 500 mm/s² mean?

The second bullet gives the maximum movement speed in mm/s², which is a unit of acceleration rather than speed. As printed, it does not tell a buyer how fast the head travels.
