Laser Engravers

LONGER diode laser engravers mark and cut wood, bamboo, leather, acrylic, paper, fabric, coated metal, anodized aluminum, glass (coated), and more. For bare metal engraving, the Nano Ruby’s infrared laser or the Ruby IR module is the right tool.

Yes. A 5W diode laser cuts thin wood (around 3mm), 10W handles 5–8mm basswood, and 20W–40W machines like the Ray5 40W and Laser B1 cut thick boards in one or a few passes — especially with air assist.

The Ray5 mini and Ray5 5W/10W are the most beginner-friendly: affordable, quick to assemble, and controlled via touchscreen with offline engraving. The portable Nano 6W is another gentle entry point.

For production work, choose the Laser B1 30W/40W or Ray5 40W — high optical power, large work areas, and rigid frames built for daily output. The Nano Duo AI suits high-volume small-item personalization with its conveyor system.

Ray5 machines are versatile mid-size engravers (5W–40W) with touchscreen control — great all-rounders. The Laser B1 series focuses on maximum power (20W–40W) and a large ~450×440mm work area for heavy cutting and production.

Diode lasers mark coated, painted, or anodized metals and lightly mark stainless steel. For crisp engraving on bare metal (jewelry, tags, tools), use an infrared laser like the Nano Ruby or the Ruby IR module.

LONGER engravers work with the free LaserGRBL (Windows), the popular paid LightBurn (Windows/Mac/Linux), and LONGER’s own software — covering everyone from first-timers to professionals.

Yes, with proper precautions: always wear the included safety goggles, engrave in a ventilated space or with an enclosure and smoke purifier, and never leave the machine running unattended.

From the Nano’s compact portable format and the Ray5 mini’s desktop size up to the Ray5’s 400×400mm and the Laser B1’s ~450×440mm — plus extension kits that roughly double the length for oversized projects.

No. Most models arrive partially assembled and take roughly 15–30 minutes to set up, with clear manuals and video guides. Portable Nano models are ready to use almost out of the box.
