Creality Falcon2 40W
What we like

- Cuts 20mm cork or thin 0.15mm stainless steel in a single pass

- Fast 25,000 mm/min rated speed
Watch out for
- Open frame at 40W is a real exposure risk without an added hood and glasses
- No camera or WiFi, manual focus only
- Price range overlaps confusingly with the enclosed Falcon2 Pro 22W

What we like
- Cuts up to 10mm pine in a single pass
- Air assist included in the box
- WiFi and USB control
