From small to large business fields and from professional to passionate hobbyists, such a engraving machine always creates appeal. Now, what would allow you to choose your perfect engraving tool? Well, a lot of things can be mentioned, especially laser power, engraving area, and seamless software compatibility are always worth mentioning. But there are always more. In this buying guide, we are here to explore them all. If you are interested, let's get started.

Why Laser Engravers Are Better Than Traditional Engraving Tools?

One of the primary reasons why you should shift to a laser engraver is that these tools are extremely precise than most other traditional engraving tools. When it comes to creating high-end markings with a high level of detail, a light beam engraving tool can be the next wonder. With software-based commands and computerized automatic action, the chances of making any mistakes will always be down to zero. Laser engraving is also faster and more efficient than manual engraving, with the ability to create complex designs quickly and easily. Overall, laser engraving is a versatile and efficient tool that offers a wide range of benefits for both personal and professional use.

What Is A Laser Engraver?

Laser engraver is an automated engraving tool kit that uses Fiber/UV/CO2 laser beam to engrave, cut, etch, ablate, print and mark 2D/3D letters, numbers, texts, patterns, photos, pictures, signs or logos on the surface of metals (steel, brass, copper, titanium, aluminum, silver, gold, iron, alloy), acrylic, delrin, glass, crystal, rubber, wood, MDF, plywood, fabric, plastic, leather, paper, stone, and textiles.

Laser engraving system is an organized collection of parts and components (bed frame, generator, engraving head, power supply, tube, lens, mirror, servo motor or stepper motor, gas storage tank, gas cylinder, water chiller, dust extractor, air cooling filer, dryer, air compressor, software and CNC controller) that are integrated to create 2D/2.5D/3D text and graphics on metals, metalloids and nonmetals in home store, small business, commercial use, industrial manufacturing, and school education.

It is also known as laser etching machine, etcher, ablator, ablation kit, burner, burning machine, texturing tool, patterning kit, stippler, stippling machine, branding machine, printer, printing machine, marker, marking machine.

How Does A Laser Engraving Machine Work?

Laser engraving is based on computer numerical control technology. First, you need to make a design of file, then, open the file through software, and start CNC programing, the engraver will start working after the control system received the control command. The laser beam is reflected through mirrors, the focal point downward through lens, where the heat is most intense. Thus, the beam starts impinging on the material, the material will burn or evaporate, and the color will change as well, and make a contrast. After a while, a complete engraved project will be finished.

What Is A Laser Engravers Used For?

Laser engravers are the most common engraving tool kits used in various industries of embroidery, brand processing, packaging and printing, custom credit cards, advertisement decoration, architectural models, metal fabrication, woodworking, custom smartphones & laptops, molds, crafts, leathers, shoes, toys, fablabs & education, medical technology, rubber stamps, watches, architectural models, packaging design, automotive industry, mechanical engineering, awards & trophies, signs & displays, signage, giveaways, electronics industry, data plates, personalized jewelry maker, ball bearing, barcode serial numbers, and more. With the laser beam engraving system, you can engrave different designs on different substrates. The laser beam will make the surface to vaporize. It is ideal for someone who wants to customize or personalize something.

How Much Does A Laser Engraver Cost?

If you have an idea to buy the best budget engravers for hobbyists or commercial use, you may wonder how much does it cost? how to get a fair price or final price in your area?

A new laser engraver costs an average of $5,280 for entry-level and high-end models in 2024. However, that figure varies depending on your laser power and table size, you may spend more or less than that. The small hobby engravers are cheaper than the average, costing roughly $2,760, while the professional industrial CNC laser engraving machines average $7,800. Prices can also go up if you need personalized customization since manufacturers can charge anywhere from $200 to $1,000 for new designs.

Laser engraving systems come in three basic types. The average cost of affordable fiber laser engravers is $5,060, slightly lower than its $5,510 average price last year. Budget-friendly CO2 laser engraving machine's average price in 2023 was over $3,960 and decreased to $3,680 in 2024. Purchasing brand-new UV laser etching machines can set you back $5,780 - around 20% less than the average price in the previous year ($7,120).

The used engravers are relatively cheaper, which range from $1280 to $5,600. However, this will bring about the troubles of insufficient laser service life and inability to provide after-sales technical support.

Pros & Cons

Unlike 3D printers, laser engraving is the application of CNC laser technology to make text or pattern on the object. While engraving, the surface of the object is still smooth, and the writing will not wear. The laser beam does not touch the surface of the material, is not affected by mechanical motion, and the surface does not deform, generally no need to be fixed. Laser etching is not affected by the elasticity and flexibility of the material, and is convenient for all types of metal, metalloid, and nonmetal materials. Overall it has its own pros and cons listed below.

Pros

The precision workbench can be used for fine micromachining.

Use a microscope or camera system to observe or monitor the condition of the engraved surface.

It can pass through light-transmitting materials (such as quartz, glass) to engrave its internal parts.

It can process most metal or non-metal materials.

The laser beam is very thin, so that the consumption of the engraved material is small.

During etching, X-rays will not be generated like electron beam bombardment and other engraving methods, and will not be interfered by electric and magnetic fields.

It can mark the surface of "millimeter-level" parts.

The laser uses non-mechanical "tools" for engraving, which does not produce mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress on the material, has no "tool" wear marks, is non-toxic, and rarely causes environmental pollution.

The prism and mirror system can be used to focus the beam on the inner surface or inclined surface of the workpiece for etching.

The operation is simple, the use of numerical control technology can realize automatic engraving, can be used for high-speed and high-efficiency engraving of parts on the production line, and can be used as a part of the flexible system.

Cons

Lasers are easy to cause damage to the human eye due to the short wavelength, however, users can wear special protective glasses to reduce damage.

Due to the CO2 laser tube for engraving is made of glass, improper use can cause it to break.

How Many Types of Laser Engraving Machines?

Laser engraving machines are classified as laser wood burning machine, metal engraving machines, leather ablation machines, stone engraving machines, fabric marking machines, plastic engraver kits, rubber branding kits, paper printing tools, glass etching machines, acrylic engraving tools based on the materials.

Laser engraving systems are defined as CO2 laser systems, fiber laser systems (the best tool to engrave metal), and UV laser systems (the best tool to etch glass) based on the sources.

Laser engraving tables are divided into mini types, handheld types, compact types, desktop types, portable types, 2x3 engraving tables, 2x4 engraving tables, 4x4 engraving tables, 4x8 engraving tables, 5x10 engraving tables, large format engraving tables according to the working area.

These kits are classified as home kits, hobby kits, commercial kits, industrial kits based on applications.

These engravers are defined as laser jewelry engravers, pen printers, iPhone engraving tools, gun stippler, ring engraver kits, signage markers, art engraving kits, logo branders, cup etchers based on industries. If you are working for 3D engraving, the rotary engraver kit is the best option.

How To Setup & Install A Laser Engraver Kit?

As a novice or DIYer, you should know how to setup, install, and debug a laser engraving machine for use in your business to make money. Here are 8 basic steps to help you to grow professionally.

Step 1. First check whether the tube is damaged and whether any parts are loose.

Step 2. Install the exhaust device, connect the exhaust pipe to the exhaust fan, and install the other end outdoors. The maximum distance between the exhaust fan and the outdoor air outlet is 2 meters. If it is caused by the local environment, if the exhaust pipe extends too long, you need to configure additional exhaust equipment.

Step 3. Connect the ground wire (see the grounding position behind the machine, the grounding resistance should be ≤4 ohms).

Step 4. Check the 220V power supply line for aging of the wireless circuit, loose connectors, poor contact, etc. The 220V AC voltage is normal. If necessary, a special power supply line and a regulated power supply (power ≥3000W) must be used.

Step 5. This machine uses an external submersible pump circulating water supply cooling device. The user must prepare a capped bucket. The height difference between the engraving machine and the submersible pump should not be greater than 0.5 meters. The cooling circulating water must be clean, dust-free, and scale-free.

Step 6. The water temperature of the circulating cooling water should be 5-25 ℃, otherwise it will affect the engraving depth. In the cold area, it should be ensured that there is no ice blockage in the tube, otherwise the tube will burst. It is best to drain the remaining water in the circulating water channel and tube when it stops working at night to prevent frost cracking.

Step 7. If the tube is found to be short of water, it should be shut down immediately to stop working, cut off the power of the pump, and at least shut down for more than half an hour, wait for the tube to cool naturally before the water can be started to work.

Step 8. Turn on the submersible pump, the cooling water should circulate normally, and the cooling water channel should be free from clogging and dripping.

Note: Do not connect the zero wire to the ground wire.

How To Use A Laser Engraving Machine for Beginners?

Here are eight operating steps on how to operate such a tool correctly for beginners and professionals, we hope that this manual can help you to understand.

Step 1. First turn on the main power switch, turn on the voltage regulator, and turn on the chiller (let the water in the tube fill up and cycle for 1-3 minutes). You should put antifreeze in the chiller in winter and snow days.

Step 2. Turn on the power of the machine and reset the machine.

Step 3. Turn on the fan power and air pump.

Step 4. Turn on the switch (turn on the machine to emit light), and then turn on the lighting switch.

Step 5. Press the burst button to detect whether the laser is emitted.

Step 6. Turn on the computer (the computer's USB cable is connected to the machine interface), open the control software, click the software up, down, left and right buttons to check whether the machine is moving. The machine movement indicates that the computer is connected to the machine.

Step 7. Put the workpiece and adjust the anxiety (in general, we only measure the distance from the cutting nozzle to the surface of the material), long focal length lenses for cutting thick materials, and short focal lengths for fine engraving machines.

Step 8. Operate the computer to transfer files, position the machine, walk the frame (test whether the area of the cut file is within the effective range of the workpiece), and start engraving.

Engraving VS Marking

Laser marking machine is an automatic printing system that uses a diode, solid-state, or metal CO2 laser tube to evaporate the surface material to expose the deep material, which leads to chemical changes in the surface material and physical changes to print marks, or to burn part of the material through beam energy to show the desired printing pattern and text.

Laser engraving machine is an automatic etching system that uses the beam from glass CO2 laser tube to cut and engrave variety of non-metallic materials. Unlike mechanical engraving machine, it uses the heat energy from the beam to etch substrates.

Application

The engraving systems use CO2 laser tube to engrave and cut glass, crystal, acrylic, wood, marble, cloth, leather, felt, paper, PVC, plastic, mosaic and other non-metallic materials. Laser marking systems use fiber, CO2, and UV laser to mark various metal and non-metal materials.

Depth

The engraved depth is from 0.1mm to 80mm with powers from 40W to 300W, all depending on the specific material. The marked depth is less than 5mm, and the power is between 20W and 200W.

Speed

The cutting speed of the engraver is maximum 200mm/s, and the engraving speed is maximum 500mm/s. The marking speed is three times faster than the engraving speed.

Precision

The precision of marked projects are much higher than that of engraved projects. The marker can work on the surface of the material with a thin beam, and the thin line width can reach 0.01mm. It has created a broad application space for precision machining and increasing anti-counterfeiting functions.

Work Area

The laser marking machine can generally mark the format of 200*200mm, and the engraving machine can engrave large format. The marking system uses galvanometer scanning, so the working area is relatively small. To put it bluntly, the laser etcher is to replace the spindle of the CNC machine with focusing lens, and use the beam instead of the tool for processing, so as long as the X/Y/Z axis is large enough, you can process as many large formats as you want, but the accuracy is not good.

Generator

The optical path system of the engraver kit is composed of three reflective lenses and a focusing mirror, and the generator is a glass CO2 laser tube. Its life is generally within 2,000-10,000 hours. CO2 glass laser tubes are all disposable. The generators of laser marking systems include metal tube, fiber and YAG lasers, the lifespan is more than five years, and the metal tube lasers can be inflated again for use.

Cautions & Warnings

It is very dangerous for the laser engraving machine to fail when it is working. The beginners must be trained by professionals before they can operate independently. STYLECNC has summarized the following cautions and warnings based on experience, hoping to help users and operators.

Follow general safety operating procedures. Start the laser strictly according to the start-up procedure.

The operator must be trained to be familiar with the structure and performance of the equipment, and to master the relevant knowledge of the operating system.

Wear labor protective equipment according to the regulations, and must wear protective glasses that meet the regulations near the beam.

Do not process a material without knowing whether it can be irradiated or heated by a laser to avoid the potential hazard of fumes and vapors.

When the equipment is in operation, the operator is not allowed to leave the post without authorization or entrust someone to be in charge. If it is really necessary to leave, the operator should stop the machine or cut off the power switch.

Keep fire extinguishers within easy reach, turn off lasers or shutters when not processing, and do not place paper, cloth, or other flammable materials near unprotected laser beams.

When any abnormality is found during the processing, it should be shut down immediately, and the fault should be eliminated in time or reported to the supervisor.

Keep the generator, bed and surrounding areas clean, orderly, and free from oil, and the workpieces, plates, and waste materials should be piled up according to regulations.

The continuous working time cannot exceed 5 hours (more than half an hour of rest is required in the middle).

Follow high voltage safety regulations during maintenance. Every 40 hours of operation or weekly maintenance, every 1000 hours of operation or every six months of maintenance must be carried out in accordance with regulations and procedures.

After turning on the machine, it should be started manually at low speed in the X and Y directions, and checked to see if there is any abnormality.

After inputting the new workpiece program, it should be trial run first and check its running condition.

When it is working, pay attention to observe the operation to avoid accidents caused by the machine going out of the effective travel range or two collisions.

During the etching process, the operator is prohibited from leaving without authorization to avoid unnecessary losses.

In the etching process, the top cover must be closed to prevent the laser from deflecting and burning someone around.

Because there are laser and high-voltage parts in the machine, it is strictly forbidden for non-professionals to disassemble the machine without authorization.

The grounding of all parts must be completely reliable to prevent static electricity from hurting others.

Don't place flammable and explosive items near the equipment to prevent fire caused by laser deviation.

Don't place any irrelevant reflective objects inside the machine to prevent the laser from reflecting onto flammable and explosive materials or the human body, which may cause unpredictable losses and damage.

During the working process, the operator must observe the working conditions at any time (such as: deformation of the hook edge, whether the laid paper is blown up by the air pump to block the laser, abnormal sound of the machine, water temperature of the circulating water).

Place the machine in an environment free of pollution and electromagnetic interference.

Don't start the machine when the voltage is unstable, otherwise a voltage stabilizer must be used.

The water cycle must be kept clean, and the water temperature should not exceed 20-30 degrees (purified water is recommended).

Don's turn on the ammeter at the maximum value state, so as not to break down the power supply and shorten the life of the tube.

Basic restrictions on the use of power supplies (that is, the maximum current meter cannot exceed 20mA)

If it fails or a fire occurs, please cut off the power immediately. The user must strictly abide by the above items, otherwise, the manufacturer will not be responsible for personal injury or damage to the machine.

This is a great addition to my renovation company. The 4x8 engraving table is large enough for my job. Clean and smooth engravings, better than advertised. Great experience with this mirror engraver. Got it for about three months and I'm comfortable enough to take on any engraving now with this laser. Any LED mirror can be etched into a work of art in minutes. Well worth the investment.

I have just received the STJ-50F. Worked out of the box and had no issues at all. Exactly the same as described. I puchased the latest model and the EZCAD software was included. Got the fiber laser engraver up and running with the software installed and my first engraving and cutting in about 30 minutes. Resulted in clear & smooth edges and lines. Easy to use for a novice with the instructional videos. Great for the price and worth buying. Recommend getting the exhaust fan, which is a must have for indoor use.

I purchased this fiber laser engraver after researching how to videos and learning its pros and cons in advance. Assembly was sort of easy with the instruction book. The software that comes with it is easy to use. I have done a few tests for 3D deep relief engraving and stippling guns with some examples and a couple of my own creations. It worked well and resulted in smooth and clear patterns. A great gun engraver kit for anyone with intuition and patience on custom personalized firearms. So far it is worth the money.

This is a special 3D laser engraver and you should buy for personalized crystal souvenirs and gifts for your custom business. The subsurface engraving details in crystal are amazing. It's pricey but it was worth every penny. It paid for itself in less than three months.

The crystal engraver arrived safely packaged. Everything was secured with foam and therefore no component had even the smallest damage. The individual components make a high-quality and robust impression right from the start. There are also many accessories as you can use, here you have everything you need and you do not have to buy anything extra.

The entire assembly was completed within 30 minutes. The instructions for this unit are very readable in English, and every smallest step is individually illustrated and therefore easy to carry out. The assembled machine also makes a good impression. Everything is well and nothing rattles. All 4 feet stand securely and are level. The bed frame is very stable and the laser can be easily moved in all directions.

When it came to the software, it is free and easy to use. You do not have to spend money on other paid software.

After a few YouTube tutorials about the STJ-3KC engraver, which was admittedly very helpful, I ventured straight into the first test. I connected my laptop to the machine, the program recognized my laser engraver directly, and also automatically recognized and mapped the working area of 300x400mm. On the Internet you can find files that you can download free of charge, which are ideal for carrying out a test. I opened one of these files with software, adjusted the dimensions to the crystal trophy I wanted to etch, adjusted the strength of the laser, pressed start and the laser started. Be sure to put on the supplied glasses to avoid damage to your eyes. All I can say about the other settings is learning by doing. It is a very complex subject that cannot be mastered like a pro in a few hours. When I look at my result, I do not think it looks that bad for the first try. The program in combination with the laser engraving machine will be able to get a lot more performance out of it, so I will still have some room for improvement.

I am a newbie to laser engraving, bought this unit to upgrade classic stone hand engraving business. The STJ1325S engraver was easy to set up right out of the package by following the manual instructions. The RD controller was easy to configure and convenient to use. Some of the projects we have done so far are personalized memorial granite stones, garden memorial stones, memorial plaques for outdoors, cemetery headstones, and grave markers. We have experimented with different markers for stones and this laser engraver seems to etch automatically with most all of them.

This Ultraviolet laser kit is exactly what I need. It is a really convenient engraver for custom personalized glassware and drinkware, and it does a great job of that. My first project is etching a stemless wine glass (clear), and turned out excellent but not without trial and error.

I like the size of the laser engraver a lot. Assembly instructions are not the greatest but useable. Software is easy to use for beginners. The seller was very responsive when I had an issue with a part. Have used it to engrave a couple of metal blanks. It made good engravings while it lasted.

This fiber laser arrived in 7 days with surprise via TNT courier. Thanks for the USB stick came with it, which contains software, digital directions, videos, and easy-to-follow tips to setup and operate. Also had paper copy of instructions. Took about 20 minutes to put it together and figure it out. Used this to make personalized metal credit cards for my workshop. Did a good job with engraving patterns and texts on stainless steel and titanium.

Got it very quickly in less than 13 days and everything was great. The only issue was that the laptop came without a battery. STYLECNC's explanation is that due to the shipping policy, the battery cannot be shipped with the laptop, so I had to buy one myself from Amazon.
