Trying out a Chinese laser cutter with no enclosure
🕑 Added 2023-05-13 04:41:08 +0000 UTCThis is a quick review of one of the new(ish) Chinese open frame laser cutters. These new diode laser heads are amazing - this one is 40W! You don’t need a huge CO2 laser tube, cooling, mirrors to clean and align, etc. anymore. But, it’s not perfect…

If no one has mentioned this already, if you are going to use it without the enclosure, I'd invest in a better pair of safety glasses. Those things look pretty cheap and I've seen a few different videos about the included safety glasses with Chinese products not actually blocking out the spectrum of light that they're supposed to!

Yeah, I think the enclosure was one of the best parts!

Enclosure looks pretty good to my laser professional eyes. The IR light shows up on your camera without the enclosure, but doesn't when you look through the window.
