Atomstack A40 Pro V2
#5 in DiodeFull review
A cheap route to serious diode cutting power for a garage or shop with good ventilation. Not for a shared living space without an enclosure.

OMTech Polar2 Pro 50W RF
#9 in CO2Full review
The pick for engraving businesses that run all day and want an RF tube that needs no water and lasts for years. Shops that mostly cut thick stock get more for less from the 70 W glass version.
