The Longer RAY5 40W is a desktop diode laser engraver and cutter aimed at hobbyists and small shops that want more cutting power than the common 5W to 10W machines. Its 40W diode module cuts thin plywood, acrylic and dark leather faster and in fewer passes, and the built-in self-leveling and USB-C connectivity simplify setup. It is a large, heavy open-frame machine, so it needs a sturdy bench and a dedicated workspace. Against enclosed CO2 lasers it costs far less and needs no tube or chiller, but it has no enclosure or fume extraction and cannot match CO2 speed on thick stock.

Owners of the RAY5 line generally praise the cutting power for the money and the easy setup, and many use it for small business work. Complaints center on smoke and fumes in an open frame, the need for careful focus and alignment, and the learning curve for new users.
