Power in a box

Forty watts of diode output, in a Class 1 enclosure with a 23.93 × 15.16 inch bed. Few diode machines combine all three.

This is business equipment, at 86.8 lb and about $1,800. For hobby use, the M2 costs far less.

Questions makers ask before buying

Can a diode laser cut clear acrylic?

Blue diode lasers pass through clear acrylic. For that, look at the CO2 machines on the [CO2 shelf](/co2-laser-engravers/).

Is the rotary included?

Yes on this listing, named the Rotary Bundle.

Our score

8.1/ 10

The serious diode here. Before buying, compare it with the OMTech K40+ if clear acrylic matters, since diode lasers cannot cut it.
