OMTech45W CO2 Laser Engraver with LightBurn, 12"x8" Desktop Laser Engraving Cutting Machine for Home Use, LaserGRBL Compatible, Air Assist & Adjustable Head for Wood, Glass & More

Got as a christmas gift and love it!

Arrived well packaged, had a slight issue but omtech fixed it without delay. Pleased so far. My unit did come with a rotary despite what another review said. It was packaged separately to keep it from thrashing during shipping and the UPS driver left the packages in different locations

Works well. Easy to set up. USB cable was bad, which is an easy fix (once I figured that out). Would be 5 stars if the USB worked.

I got this as a gift for my daughter she makes leather bags, belts, dog armor to keep hawks coyotes off smaller dogs. She played with it for a few days using wood till she got it right for leather, now she can engrave on her leather products, she even found a use for it with her scrap leather she engraves small pictures or sayings on the scape adds a pin used for hat pins on the back and they are so cute. She said it does have a learning curve but was not hard to learn, and she is thrilled with it.

This thing is awesome! Setting it up was a breeze! Went through the steps to check if the lasers are aligned properly and straight out of the box, they were! We have been using it for about a year now and haven't experienced many issues. We did add air assist, and upgraded the lens. We also removed the bed and used one that has an adjustable Z height for larger materials (I recommend doing this!). Overall a very good bang for you buck purchase!

I ould not be more disappointed. Your title lead me to believe I would be able to engrave on a rotary axis. Would truly appreciate you to rectify this issue and then reword your add so that others are not as dissappointed.

Mad Skills most definitely required. I knew going in that the assembly of these was shoddy at best but....wow. Out of the box the X axis was nearly unmovable. Had to remove the gantry entirely, disassemble it, unwarp it and then reassemble it just to gain movement. The Y axis bearing is horribly noisy and unlikely to last long. Plenty of stripped screws had to be replaced with better hardware. The red dot laser was not wired in....the ends were barely just pushed into a connector and fell out as soon as it was touched. The inside of the cabinet was dirty as are the mirrors and lens. Hopefully the tube is fine...going to be a bit of work to get this to the point of ven applying power.If you love fixing things, redesigning things and wondering how any of this can pass any quality assurance process then this is your baby.Edit: After several days of checking all connectors, repairing those found to be poorly crimped, etc., repairing the most glaring issue of no proper ground, replacing most of the screws on the gantry and mirror, reinstalling both temp meters because they fell out and aligning the mirrors it actually runs. I was able to confirm it is operational, laptop and k40 Whisperer can indeed control it.So in a nut shell....be prepared to rebuild this unit. It's a good parts kit, the case is good, tube is fine. Electrically dangerous until properly modified but....it will cut and engrave with a little work. You should be comfortable with soldering, mechanical skills, electrical skills and have a Macgyver Engineering degree.

Update: after contacting the seller, they promptly sent us a replacement tube, which runs great. Easy installation. Healthy and stable beam. Clean cuts. Happy kids. I hope this tube will have long lifetime-------------------Purchased the machine in July, and have been using sporadically, once a week or so, for short low-intensity jobs (10% of laser power). Worked great when it was working. However, even with adequate cooling (the coolant temp has always been within the 18-20C range), the laser beam switched to the doughnut-shaped profile in November, i.e. useless for any kind of job due to the inability to focus the beam properly, and now the tube has to be replaced.
