Figures as published by LaserPecker, checked 4 October 2026. Blank rows mean the maker doesn’t state it, so we leave it out rather than guess.

Strengths

  • 20W fibre for deep metal engraving and thin metal cutting
  • 20W diode for wood, leather and dark acrylic
  • Portable: laser unit 3.36 kg, can work on large or vertical surfaces
  • LightBurn compatible; mobile app control

Things to consider

  • Base unit is not enclosed - Class 1 needs the optional Safety Enclosure
  • Small, elliptical marking area
  • Metal-cutting figures differ between spec table and FAQ
  • Not a sheet cutter in the Glowforge sense

Who it suits

Makers and small businesses doing on-site or market personalisation on metal and wood who value portability.
