EngraverScore data: laser engraver and cutter specifications

Specifications of 44 laser engravers and cutters sold in the United States (21 diode, 5 CO2, 9 fiber, 4 UV, by the laser type each brand states), as 8 brands publish them on their own product pages and in their manuals. Read between 2026-10-08 and 2026-10-10. Every value has the address of the page it was read on and the date it was read. A figure the brand doesn’t publish is left blank, never estimated. Built for EngraverScore, an independent comparison site.

File What it holds Rows
models.csv One row per machine, one column per specification (63 columns), in the units the brands use 44
values.csv One row per value, with its source type, source address and read date, and any other reading of the same figure 922

Columns of models.csv

  • id, brand, model, variant: the machine as the brand names it. engraverscore_page: the machine’s page on EngraverScore, with the figures and their sources.
  • laser_type, wavelength_nm: the laser source as the brand states it. A second module sold with the machine has its own laser2_* columns.
  • Power is always given with its type, never guessed: optical_power_w (light output), input_power_w (electrical power of the module), tube_power_w (rated power of a CO2 tube), or power_type_not_stated_w (the brand writes “20W laser” without saying which).
  • Sizes in millimeters (work_area_*, marking_field_*, size_mm as length, width, height), weight in kilograms, speed in mm/s, pulse width in nanoseconds, warranties in years, source life in hours, claimed_precision_mm and max_speed_mm_s as the brand claims them.
  • engraves, cuts, cut_thickness_mm: the materials and cut thicknesses a brand names for this machine, with the number of passes when it says so. Material names are mapped to a fixed list; a generic word such as “metal” stays generic.
  • laser_class_per_brand: the class the brand publishes for this model. We never infer it, and it is not a safety rating.
  • rotary, camera, focus, air_assist, fume_filter, conveyor: “sold separately by the brand” means the brand sells it for this model; it is not in the box.
  • lightburn_compatible_per_brand: yes only when the brand writes that the machine works with LightBurn.
  • read_between: the first and last dates on which values of this machine were read.

How the values were read

  • Each value was read on the brand’s page or manual, and the number must appear in the text it was taken from. A unit conversion (such as kilowatts to watts) is made by a tested function and flagged calculated from a figure on the brand page in source_type.
  • Where a brand’s own sources disagree, values.csv keeps the more cautious figure as value and lists the other readings in other_readings (21 values).
  • Nothing was measured by EngraverScore. These are the brands’ claims, not test results. Brands whose terms don’t allow automated reading are left out of the files.
  • The method is described on How we score and the sources on Data sources.

Not in these files

Prices, availability, ratings, images, the texts of the brands’ pages and manuals (including their safety instructions), and the retailers’ and affiliate networks’ data, which are not ours to redistribute. Read the brand’s manual before using any machine; nothing here replaces it.
