10 Best Laser Engravers
for October 2023

MOOZ Themes editors select recommendations independently, so your purchase through our link may earn us a commission.

Laser engravers, also known as a laser cutter or laser cutter/engraver, are machines that use lasers to engrave, cut, or mark metal, wood, or plastic. Laser engravers work by drawing a laser beam through an object, melting the material and engraving a design or logo. Laser engravers are very versatile, and can be used for cutting, engraving, or marking a wide variety of materials.

In the MOOZ Themes Reviews Lab, we evaluate laser engravers for performance, ease of use, and craftsmanship. We evaluate engraving speeds, engraving depths of up to 1-1/2", and engraving patterns. We also evaluate ease of use, such as set-up, operation, cleaning, and warranty.

Our top pick for best laser engraver is the Epilog Zing 24. The Zing 24 is a powerful laser engraver that engraves up to 1-1/2" thick wood, plastic, and acrylic. The Zing 24's powerful 600mW laser can engrave on almost any material, including wood, plastic, acrylic, and paper. The Zing 24's large engraving area, high-quality engraving, and ease of use make it our top pick for best laser engraver.
