4 Best Budget Laser Engravers That Actually Work Well

4 Best Budget Laser Engravers That Actually Work Well

So, you want a cheap laser engraver for wood, or for cutting thin acrylic sheets? And you really don’t want to break the bank?

My top pick, even if it isn’t as cheap as some others, is thexTool D1 Pro. It’s got the best build quality and cuts the thickest material, based on my hands-on testing.

If you want to save money you can get the 5W version instead of the default 10W (I personally bought the 20W version though).

If you’re on a real tight budget, then I recommend theNeje 3or Neje 3 Pro.

Note:this article covers only cheap laser engravers and cutters under $1000. For all price ranges, read ourbest laser cutter and engraver buyer’s guide.

Best build quality, with protected belts and premium steel wheels for the belts.

Fastest engraving speed of 400mm/s for shading images at lower power

Small spot size for precise projects

Higher price than some 10W lasers

The xTool D1 Pro is theBEST BUDGET LASER!!

I personally bought the upgraded 20W version for a few hundred dollars more, but even if you’re on a budget, the 10W model is perfect. (There’s a 5W version which is still probably the best laser engraver under $500, but I 100% recommend getting 10W or 20W.)

The xTool D1 10W is the best diode laser under $1,000, so if you’re able to spend that, get the xTool. It’s better than the next best option, theOrtur Laser Master 3.The Ortur and xTool are very similar in performance: same 10W dual laser power, very similar work area sizes, similar safety settings, both allow for WiFi connectivity and control via an iOS or Android app.

But, the xTool D1 Pro is more sturdily built with steel rods and wheels and protected belts, whereas the Ortur LM3, while still well-built (a big improvement on the previous Ortur LM2 Pro) doesn’t protect the belts.

The xTool is also slightly larger, and can be extended to 936 x 432 mm with the extension kit.
