- Can it cut wood or acrylic?
- It cuts thin plywood, balsa and dark acrylic in multiple passes at slow speed. Thick stock and clear acrylic are beyond a 5W diode.
- Does it engrave metal?
- Not bare metal. It can mark anodized aluminum or coated steel, and some owners use marking spray on bare metal.
- Do I need safety glasses and an enclosure?
- Yes. The open frame exposes the beam, so wear 445 nm-rated glasses and vent or enclose the work area.
- How does it compare with the LaserMaster 2 Pro?
- The S2SF has a fixed focus and a slightly different frame; the Pro adds an adjustable focus and a larger optional extension. Both share the 5W diode class.
- What software does it work with?
- It runs on Ortur's OLF firmware and works with LaserGRBL and LightBurn over USB.
- What is in the box?
- The frame parts, laser module, control board, power adapter, cables, belts and basic tools. Safety glasses and an enclosure are not included.
- Where is the Ortur LaserMaster2 S2SF DiodeLaser Engraver cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $159.99, as of our latest check.
