Refurbished ATOMSTACK A5 Pro Commercial Laser Engraver, 5,000mW Laser Engraving Machine with 410X400mm Working Space for Metal, Wood, Acrylic, Leather, Class 4 | Certified Refurbished with Warranty

I'm having a lot of fun with this! I've added an air assist and limit switches made with this very machine! I'm spending a lot of time fiddling with settings, adding on to it, making a nice and square table to keep cuts consistent, but I had it working out if the box the same night I assembled it.I think any engraver like this will naturally take some tinkering with to figure things out, but it seems to be really easy for DIY upgrades if you're so inclined to do so. I'm using Lightburn on it and having a lot of fun. Photo engraving works well, lineart etching is super easy, and if you got things squared up and set up right, you can pretty reliably cut 3mm (1/8th inch) plywood in two passes.Assembly was super easy, getting it up and running with LaserGRBL was really simple too. My advice is to make sure you got a nice and flat surface to use it on though, and probably plan on doing a bit of work to make a surface you can set material on so you don't scorch your table with the laser.Overall a very fun and inexpensive machine that seems really easy to modify and upgrade! If you're curious about laser engraving but don't want to make a huge investment, this is priced just perfect for you.

Perfect little laser cutter/engraver. It took probably 30 mins to put everything together and up an running straight from the box. The price on this thing is great. Just playing with the software that I have on different materials to fit it out having a blast

Where do I start! This machine is ok but to get it to work right with the software it’s missing limit switches! Witch I had to but separate along with the extension wires and everything else that is needed! And then I had to reprogram the laser with the switches and flash the system! Wasted my time and more of my money and now I’m behind on my projects! Save your money do more research and get a unit with limit switches so don’t have to deal with this crap!

Great machine,easy to assemble,there is a learning curve on settings for GRBL or whatever program you select,on settings I have found less is more,I got the air assist and laser hood with exhaust fan,very happy and having a lot of fun with this machine

This product performs reasonably well. It's build is good, the power enough for what I want. It's easy to assemble but the initial setup wasn't as easy as purported in the software area. Use GRBL to help with other paid programs. The problem isn't with this laser but the added promise of an R-30.The real issue is in obtaining the so-called R-30. In September I ordered one from the company itself which was postponed and postponed and so on.The credit card company contacted and after 45 days solved the issue, money finally returned from Atomstack, but a difficult process at best.If you are expecting this product perhaps you might consider the aforementioned discussion. Perhaps other companies might have a similar R-30 product, otherwise, be prepared to toss $500 USD, then pray, fight for return money back, and questionable product supply. See other reviews for the R30.:( Cheers

It was a pretty easy setup. Everything was packed well and undamaged. Directions weren't the clearest, but not bad overall. Get air assist. If you get a loss of power after a few uses, check your lens. I lost power after engraving some slate, turns out my lens had loosened up a little and was quite cloudy, the smoke would be my guess. Cleaned it with some lens cleaner, tightened it back up, good as new. Don't skimp on the maintenance. Especially with heavy use. Blow it out, clean the lens, check your tracks and nuts and it will work like a pro. IT DOES HAVE AN APP THAT WORKS ON WIFI. That DOES NOT work out of the box. I don't know about the other models, but the directions in the instruction manual about hooking it up to wifi, weren't even close to what I actually had to do. It takes some downloading and installing, and WAS NOT easy, even with the tutorial, and I'm tech savvy. Overall I'm happy and would recommend this product. I use both Lightburn and LaserGRBL. LaserGRBL is more beginner friendly and I would suggest using that if your just getting in to Lasers. Lightburn is more advanced and a better program overall. But from my experiences (at least for me) photo engraving seems to turn out better on LaserGRBL. But the engraver itself, decent speed and great resolution. The pictures were done with this engraver on Black slate, white ceramic tile, walnut and anodized aluminum.

I love the addition to my laser engraver to be able to engrave on tumblers, the only issue up front was that it started engraving the letters backwards, I don’t think there a possibility to plug the wires wrong, all I had to do was activate the flip the Y axis in software and it was functioning fine.Best thing is that it worked with my 5 year old laser engraver, a machine that has been discontinued due to upgraded versions and it’s very own manufacturer doesn’t make a rotary tool for, really impressive. Atomstack for the win.

It's very accurate.Fantastic on glass and other surfacesGood for weeding,drinking cans& jars.
