$999
approximate street price 
The Genmitsu L8 40W is an all-in-one enclosed diode laser engraver and cutter with a built-in acrylic enclosure, integrated LightBurn camera, and air assist pump — all included in the box. At 40W it cuts 15mm basswood in a single pass and scores 0.05mm stainless steel. The 390x390mm work area and 40,000mm/min top speed make it one of the more capable mid-range diode machines, and Class 1 laser safety certification means no laser goggles required during operation.
