That number would have been closer to 20 if I hadn’t been setting up taking pictures at the same time. It took me less than 30 minutes to have the unit fully assembled. A desiccant pack and extra sturdy corner protectors were also found, adding to the already substantial packaging.Īssembly was a breeze with all the needed tools being included with the laser. All the parts and accessories were tucked neatly into a foam enclosure with double stacked pieces like the side rails separated with additional foam. Lets call the Atomstack A5 Pro a LED desktop laser engraver. Those have far more cutting capacity and speed. The Atomstack A5 Pro is an LED based laser where most of the others are CO2 laser based. While all these are “lasers” there are some very real differences in capabilities. All of those options are well into the thousands of dollars where as the Atomstack A5 Pro can usually be found for around $300. I’ve looked at more industrial lasers in the past like Epilog and Universal and more recently the fiber lasers found on eBay. I jumped at the opportunity as I’m always looking for new ways to to make things in the shop and It’s another tool to learn with. Atomstack contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing their Atomstack A5 Pro desktop laser engraver.
