GWEIKE G2 Max 50W Fiber Laser Engraver with 3D & Deep Engraving, 15000mm/s Fast Laser Engraver Machine, 150x150mm Working Area, 0.001mm Laser Marking Machine for Jewelry, Metal, Leather, Dog Tags

After nearly a year of fantastic results with my Gweike G2 Plus 20W, I felt confident in the build quality and performance. As I had some upcoming projects in my makerspace that meant I would need increase my number of items I was engraving at a time, I decided to upgrade to the Gweike G2 Max 50W fiber laser. I estimated the increased speed would be worth the higher price tag. The Max did not disappoint.Having already gone through the initial learning curve with the 20W model, the setup of the G2 Max felt very familiar and even smoother. The connection between the laser and the base unit was a little different (a permanent connection vs plug in wires) but other than that setup was pretty much the same. The software integration with Lightburn was the same, just changing the model in the software.The most immediate and noticeable difference is the speed of this 50W laser. Projects that used to take a longer on the 20W are now completed in a fraction of that time. This has increased my throughput and allowed me produce deep engraved challenge coins much faster (and I was pretty pleased with the 20w version)Beyond the speed, the increased power makes cutting thicker materials a breeze. The quality of the engraving is great, just like with the G2 Plus, but with the added benefit of significantly reduced processing times.I am very happy with the Gweike G2 Max 50W. This has been a great upgrade and so far has been as reliable as the 20w version. Great addition to my workshop, and I recommend it folks needing an affordable higher powered fiber laser.

Never used a laser engraver/cutter before. My experience is using a cnc milling machine. So far I love this thing. My plans are to engrave in silver but way too expensive for testing. Below is a pic of a cuff-link I'm making for a friend's wedding. It's tiny, it's only 1 inch x 3/4 inch. The aluminum is 3mm thick, the engraving is 2mm deep. It's hard to see but the decorative edge is also engraved as deep. When created in silver these recesses will be filled with glass enamel.Made one for myself. Engraved in Sterling Silver with Champlevé black enamel. I love this laser the more I use it.Has totally opened up a new world for my art work. :)You need to experiment with the settings for different materials and thickness. Cutting through the think aluminum was a bit of a challenge. And be very mindful of the fumes created, you don't want to poison yourself.And a thank you to Christina at their after-sales service for taking care of me so quickly.

This laser surpassed my expectations. The dot size was smaller than imagined. Very fine crisp lines in metals. Just what I was hoping for.

Showed up in damaged packaging. Caught fire as soon as powered up. Parts were all scattered in box. SAILS DEPARTMENT, was not helpful saying its somehow was not there problem. Once i found all the parts it was simple to put together, though protection from laser is poorly designed, won't cover your part usless it's paper thin. Once assembled, as soon as key was turned controller caught fire!!!!! Luckily I've used all types of laser and had no combustible items close. Returning immediately. Also because of poor packaging I canceled upgrade components before they shipped.

This is a really nice laser. This is my first fiber laser and I am really enjoying it. I did have some issues setting up the software and getting it dialed in. I reached out to support and through a few emails they got me up and running. Support was really good by telling what to check and sending me a video of how and where the settings are. Support uses WhatsApp and they answer really fast. I will definitely be buying another laser from them when I am ready. I highly recommend this company.

The media could not be loaded. I have used a diode laser before, but I wanted to engrave metal and make coins and some other deep engraving. If you look at the attached photos, you can see a cheap dollar store scraper with really nice colors for a non-mopa laser. You can also see my first attempt at engraving a cheap 1mm by 20mm diameter brass blank. That is my first attempt. I have not gotten cleanup right but the detail is great. In learning, I have burned a hole in another stainless scraper so this 50 watt unit has enough power to warp and mess up stainless so it needs to be used carefully, but that color test proves that it can be used with a bit of planning. Settings for the coin were 15,000mm/min, 20%-90% power, 80 khz, 1000dpi, 100 passes. 1 cleanup pass per four cutting passes, 3000mm/min, 78khz, 20% power. I don't think the cleanup did anything.The laser comes with a shield.This was important to me since some deep engravings can take hours. I don't want to blind my cat and he won't wear the glasses. The shield has a small fan, I stick my 240cfm ventilator on that hole and exhaust outside.

Just had this for a week.PROs:-Great price point.-Powerfull.-Compact/Portable-Comes with a vented shield-Provided both Proprietary software and Lightburn on flash drive-Well packaged and quick shippingCONS:-Can't define yet. Will update after some time working with the machine.

Good customer service
