Genmitsu L8 Laser Engraver, 20W (20000mW) Laser Cutter Built-in Acrylic Enclosure with Vent, Air Assist Pump, Honeycomb, Camera, All-in-one Plug and Play Engraving Machine, Safety Class 1

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.

I bought this Genmitsu L8 in July and have used it pretty extensively since then - mostly for laser cutting wood but a bit of engraving on wood and metal. I found it very easy to set up and get started although the instructions are a bit simplistic and I still could use a better description of the focus and power levels for cutting and engraving various materials. Even after using it for months and it would have been helpful to have a better explanation of the line interval/resolution but I figured it out by watching YouTube videos for other laser machines. I installed Lightburn instead of the stock software and that has worked very well. I find that this 20W laser is very capable and it meets the specifications and cuts cleanly and quickly through 5mm plywood and does a great job engraving aluminum, plastic and steel - I have had a bit less success with wood which has been coming out less crisp than I’d like but maybe I need to spend more money for better wood surfaces and based on the excellent results from metal and plastic, I’m thinking my wood engraving issues are either cheap wood or user error. Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase and I use it constantly and it meets the specifications claimed by the manufacturer. EDIT: I found the power, speed, and line interval settings for various materials and thicknesses on the Sainsmart/Genmitsu website after I wrote the review.

Not worth the hassle to setup. The packaging was solid but there was a ton of quality issues. The casing was flimsy, you’ll have 2 usb cables to your computer either flimsy connections. There was no assembly instructions and the guides were out of date. The connection to the engraver was flaky and none of the drivers worked. Don’t waste your time or money on this product. Spend the extra $200 for an xTool.

I am new to the laser engraving so didn't know what to buy. I did have difficulty setting it up from the instruction booklet. After a few days of not being able to link my laptop with the engraver, I wrote to the company and they responded within a day. I didn't connect the camera cable and did not unlock the safety switch. Once done the machine fired up and connected with my laptop. I had trouble finding the camera COM link because for whatever reason what installed on mine was different than the instructions indicated. But so far it runs great and I've made a few small things. Still learning about speed and power settings. I decided to try the Lightburn software trial and although a little complicated, once understood it is a good program. There are great tutorials which are easy to follow. I gave it a four star rating because I haven't used it very long. I really love that this machine somes with a cover and air assist - no need to wear glasses. Has great safety features and is fairly quiet. And you don't have to set anything up - just plug in the cables and go. Customer support is great if you have trouble. I had written several times with computer support issues, which was mostly my lack of knowledge. They responded each time within a day with easy to understand instruction. Hoping to come back after I use for a while and give a five star rating. You won't be disappointed if you are a first time user. If I really get the hang of this, I may jump up to the 40W.

My second machine. I had the 5w and then upgraded to the 10w. I'm still using this machine and recently got the L8 40w. I am not disappointed so far. I can't wait to see what I can do with this new machine.

produto vinha com defeito, sempre que pedia para fazer algum trabalho, parava a meio com anomalia de sensor . tive que devolver o produto.

Excellent laser machine and worth the price. I did have an issue with it but Customer Service was quick at resolving my problem. This is my second Sainsmart device and would highly recommend this company. It works flawlessly with Lightburn Software. I really like the fact it has an overhead Camera which makes adjusting image to the material easy . It takes out the guesswork. It comes 99% assembled so setting up is a breeze. Thanks for reading this review. ( Canada )

Alles in allem geht der Preis in Ordnung.

Muy buen equipo, definitivamente recomendable. Supera las expectativas. Gran variedad de opciones para corte y grabado láser en los distintos materiales. Sólo hay que documentarse ya que algunos materiales requieren trucos para que funcionen. El hecho de que viene ya ensamblado y listo para usarse es un plus.
