Great video! I just ordered this Laser for Cheep! and I wanted to see if it was OK, or crap So I can cancel the order. after your review, I think I will keep I. Will Keep It. Question, will this work with LightBurn Software?

[@Vintauri]

It is a good inexpensive laser and yes it will work with Lightburn. That is all I used for my tests with it. Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you for the very useful video. But 6w is optical power right? I am very confused when see many manufacturers advertising 20 40 80w but the price is cheap. Does cutting 300gsm paper cause burned edges? and what speed do you think is appropriate?

[@Vintauri]

6w is the optical output of the laser. Sadly some will mention the input wattage from the power supply but that is not a good indicator of the output power of the laser. I have played with some card stock in the past and you will have some slight charring on the very edges. I don't have a recommendation on speeds as it's been a while since I was testing paper for cutting.

[@nathanwolf5547]

I see Ilkone or someone like them is offering a 70w. Is it too much for most uses?

[@Vintauri]

If you want raw cutting power the 70w will help. I've not been able to test one yet so I can't speak to how well they perform or how much detail they might loose with the higher wattage beam. If you are wanting high quality engravings, it's hard to beat a smaller unit like these with a single diode emitter creating a very small focus point.

Take advantage of the 3.28 price reduction promotion to buy it, the price you get is: $188.

That's a nice deal on a great laser for engraving!
