I was starting from scratch so I required everything needed for turnkey start up. I worked primarily with plywood and sheet metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and brass. I had to look for a full-size 4x8 hybrid laser cutting table to handle my precise cuts of metal and wood, and after a month of exploration and research I decided to give the STJ1325M a try. With some luck, I received my dream machine 20 days after placing the order. Individually packaged laser tubes are easy to assemble and plug and play. The user-friendly control panel is beginner-friendly for me as well as someone new to lasers. After a few days of trial cutting, everything turned out just as I hoped, and overall this laser cutter is perfect for all my projects.
