OMTech Polar Lite 55W
#1 in CO2Full review
A good first CO2 laser for makers who want a 500 x 300 mm bed, autofocus and built in cooling at about $2,000. Skip it if you rely on a camera to place designs.

4.1/5
A large bed, camera equipped 70 W CO2 for small businesses that want the Polar2 class bed for less. Ask about the air pump before ordering.
