Review: Excellent laser with basically no assembly required - I've had 3 other lasers before this one and let me tell you, it's unfair if you get this as your first laser. You should have to assemble a janky cheap one as sort of a rite of passage before you upgrade to something this ridiculously ready. Assembly is basically done for you. Just hook up a couple cords and put the laser on the mount and it's ready to go. It took me a little while to get the driver downloaded but that was on me. It's already included on the tf card that comes in the machine. Once I got that figured out this machine is a sinch to use. Look at this video. This is like 5 minutes into messing with it and I got a super clean cut through the plywood they include. You'll also noticed how fast the 40w can make that clean cut. I'm pumped. It's going to be so fun to use this. The enclosure is fantastic, funnel all your smoke out a window and don't worry about onlookers hurting their eyes. Sure the fan could use a little more oomph but it does what it's meant to. Just give it a few seconds when you're done to clear out the smoke or buy an upgraded one if you want. The air pump works great. It's pretty quiet and it's connected to the machine so you can use the dial on front for more or less airflow and you don't need an extra outlet. Last but not least, check out how cool this think looks! Its guaranteed to make your workshop look higher tech and futuristic! For all the stuff that comes included, this is an excellent value in my opinion. Definitely fast and accurate enough for production for a small business. I've had other genmitsu products like CNCs and they've been excellent so I bet this laser will last a long time without issues too. I'll update the review if I run into any problems. I was just so excited about how cool it is I had to leave a review and let everyone know right away.
Review: Perfect Entry-Mid Laser; Great Support - Excellent machine, comes almost fully assembled and is ready to use in minutes. I’ve been cutting 1/8” plywood for a few hours a day for the last month and have had no issues with the laser getting weaker or not cutting as well. Very easy to use with light burn, looks sleek on the workbench, and is able to go significantly faster than other lasers I have used. Everything is assembled well and seems strong and sturdy besides one of the plastic cable hood downs that broke, but it didn’t seem necessary to have in the first place. Update 1/16/26: Laser is still going strong. I’ve cut hundreds of 12x12 sheets of plywood and a bunch of black acrylic. I also use it to make pattern outlines on leather and cut gasket material. I haven’t ran into anything it can’t do that other diode lasers can. Diode lasers aren’t meant for metal, but it does work okay on engraving some with a marking paint. I clean the entire laser and the head regularly. I couldn’t figure out how much should take apart to clean the fans so I contacted support. Within two days I had a full off sent to me on how to clean everything. I then had an issue with one of the screws stripping when going to clean the laser module fans. I contacted support and they responded immediately with the proper screw size and where to find them. Excellent machine, excellent customer support. What I’ve come to expect from sainsmart! The alignment and camera are spot on, I never expected to use the camera but it makes life so much easier when lining up pieces of leather. With lightburn it homes itself when the program opens and maintains its positioning unless you bump it. The belts have stayed tight and I haven’t even had to replace the lens yet. All in all I am very satisfied with the purchase and have already gotten my moneys worth out of it.

## Features

- Unmatched 40000mm/min Engraving Speed: Thanks to the latest Laser tech and sturdy machine structure, this machine reaches lightning-fast performance. Breaking the speed limit of traditional frame machines, this machine is as fast as most small Galvo laser machines, outpacing other diode laser machines on the market by more than 33%.
- TRUE 40W OPTICAL OUTPUT (40,000mW): This enclosed laser cutter delivers real measured optical power—not inflated machine wattage. Cut 20mm basswood plywood, 12mm black acrylic, and even 0.05mm stainless steel in a single pass, spending your time creating instead of re-cutting. The included 30L/min smart air-assist pump and honeycomb bed keep every edge clean and flame-free.
- READY OUT OF THE BOX: No assembly, no setup guesswork—start your first project the day it arrives. The 360° acrylic laser shield with exhaust port manages smoke from day one, and the system grows with you: add the smoke purifier for indoor use, or the roller rotary to engrave tumblers, mugs, and other cylindrical projects.
- SEE BEFORE YOU ENGRAVE: The LightBurn-compatible camera overlays your design live on the workpiece, so graphics land exactly where you want—no test runs, no wasted material. A real-time power indicator, fault reporting light, and airflow detection monitor every job from start to finish.
- LASER SAFETY CLASS 1 CERTIFIED: The fully enclosed Class 1 design contains laser emission during operation, and we recommend pairing it with laser safety goggles for extra peace of mind at home, in studios, or shared workspaces. Tilt auto-stop, active flame monitor with buzzer, position-protection limit switches, emergency stop, and child safety lock—this high-power machine always has your back.

### ⭐ Poor quality, nonexistent support. Does not live up to claims.
*by J***N on June 26, 2025*

Terrible product, nonexistent support. Does not live up to claims made by manufacturer and their material sheet. Recommends engraving wood at 36000 and 100%, but barely makes a light mark on balsa wood. More like 25000 at 100%, a very large discrepancy. Does not cut steel or engrave it. The tolerances on this are embarrassing, the lid does not sit flush, laser leaks out underneath a rather large gap between it and the bottom frame. The camera is impossible to get to stay calibrated, as the cheap hinges, non flush lid, and poor quality lead to a constant shifting of the camera angle. It does not cut accurately, frequently being 2-3cm off from the light burn position. It also does not match the scale given. Example edge to edge or a gap from the edge, it either comes out too small or too large consistently. Sometimes it cuts random non existent lines. I have spent about 20 hours trying to get this to work, and have sent emails to support with no reply. There is no phone number. Go somewhere else.
