If you're just starting out in the world of laser cutting and engraving, you're probably wondering: What's the best CO₂ laser for a beginner? The laser market is filled with options — from desktop units to industrial machines — so it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Don’t worry — we’re here to simplify your search.
CO₂ lasers are one of the most beginner-friendly types of laser machines. They use a gas-filled tube to generate an infrared laser beam, which is excellent for cutting and engraving non-metallic materials like:
Wood
Acrylic
Leather
Fabric
Paper
Rubber
They’re quiet, versatile, and offer a great entry point for artists, crafters, and small business owners alike.
When choosing your first CO₂ laser, here are the key features to look for:
Ease of Use – Intuitive software, plug-and-play setup, and clear controls
Safety – Enclosed laser housing, emergency stop, and proper ventilation options
Support & Training – Access to helpful guides, video tutorials, and responsive customer service
Compact Size – Desktop or benchtop models fit well in home workshops
Affordable Price – Ideal for starting a hobby or small business without a huge upfront cost
