    Bench-Top Laser Cutters

    Make custom parts, quick prototypes, and intricate engravings with these cutters—they’re the most accurate cutters we offer. Small enough to fit on a desk, they won’t take up floor space in your facility. Connect them to your computer via Ethernet, USB, or Wi-Fi to create designs, manage settings, and start cutting jobs. These cutters include a camera that shows a live feed of the working area, so you can adjust your material’s position and monitor cuts.
    An air compressor mounted next to the laser blows cool air as it cuts, clearing debris and keeping parts from charring. These cutters also have a cooling system that uses air or water to keep the laser tube from overheating. To remove dust and fumes, direct exhaust to a well-ventilated area or connect to an air filtration system. Not for use on metal or vinyl polymers, such as PVC, polycarbonate, or PTFE.
    Heavy Duty
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Laser Cutters. Bench-Top Laser Cutters, Heavy Duty.
    Heavy duty cutters are made in the U.S. with an all-metal construction that stands up to frequent use and long production runs. For the cleanest possible cuts, these cutters automatically raise or lower your material so it’s the correct distance from the laser head.
    Use the touchscreen to access saved designs, move the laser, and adjust settings without connecting to your computer. With 1 GB of internal storage, you can save and repeat frequent jobs. You can also test a design before you cut by tracing the outline with a beam of light. These cutters can read files from any design software, including AutoCAD, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and they’re compatible with EpilogSuite.
    These cutters have a 4” exhaust port rather than a hose—connect it to an air filtration system or an exhaust blower that’s rated at least 350 CFM.
    Aluminum Laser Tube/Ceramic Laser Tube—The laser tube is a blend of aluminum and ceramic that lasts longer and makes finer cuts than glass tubes.

    Electric Bench Mount Cutters

    Quickly turn out perfectly round gaskets. Designed for making batches of same-sized gaskets, these cutters rotate your material while they cut. Punch a hole in the center of your material, slip it onto the cutter, and hold it in place with the included nut. Use the built-in scale to set the blade to the exact diameter you need.

    Fast-Cutting Ultrasonic Precision Knives

    With a blade that oscillates over 40,000 times per second—faster than you can see or feel—these knives make fast, clean, and precise cuts in a variety of material. Use them to remove supports from 3D printed objects, shape printed circuit boards, and sculpt custom spacers, gaskets, and parts of all kinds.
    These knives are faster than manual precision-blade knives and scalpels. Unlike hot-blade knives, they do not require a heat source and won't melt, burn, or crack your material. They're also less costly and easier to set up than laser cutters.
    A contoured handle makes these knives easy to hold as you apply pressure. They include a pack of 40 replacement blades.
    Knives with Maintained Switch—Two-Prong Plug
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Precision Knives. Fast-Cutting Ultrasonic Precision Knives, Maintained Switch.
    Knives with a maintained switch stay activated when you press the button. Press again to turn them off. They help prevent hand fatigue when cutting for extended periods since you don't have to hold the button down. Select one of three speeds to suit the thickness and hardness of the material you're cutting.
