I have been searching for a quality and decently priced laser for some time and since I have come across the Thunder range I was immediately drawn to it as it has a massive online community and just by reading their testimonials it was clear that you can not go wrong with this brand. Also for the type of work I do, I required a machine that is able to cut at decent speeds without sacrificing quality. I have been outsourcing all my laser work and since I got my laser I was able to do everything I wanted at an even better quality than the best suppliers out there. Thanks Allan for the support and guidance from the beginning, I am extremely happy with my Thunder Nova 51 Laser, will definitely recommend this brand and the service I received from Allan.

Odin Series
If you’re looking for more enhanced engraving quality of up to 2000mm/s and most of your work will be laser engraving rather than laser cutting then the Odin series of laser machines is the better fit for your needs. Glass laser tube machines are great if you want to do most of your work laser cutting or if you want to save on your budget.
Why do metal laser tubes engrave better ?
It is advisable to buy a laser engraving machine fitted with a RF (Radio Frequency) laser tube when most of your work will be done engraving. The metal laser tube is also able to cut through materials such as wood, acrylic, rubber, plastic and more. Metal laser tubes specialise in laser engraving because their beam spot diameter is smaller. The smaller the beam diameter the more precise your engraving will be. Glass laser tubes have a bigger beam diameter than metal laser tubes. Metal laser tube lifespan is double that of the glass laser tube and also has superior engraving quality.
