600×900 CO2 Laser Engraver vs. Smaller Models: Which Fits Your Needs?

Choosing the right laser engraver often comes down to work area size. The 600x900mm (24″x36″) CO2 laser engraver is a popular mid-range option, but how does it compare to smaller models like 300x500mm or 400x600mm? Let’s break down the key differences to help you decide which suits your projects best.

Key Comparison: 600×900 vs. Smaller Laser Engravers

Feature 600x900mm Laser Smaller Models (300x500mm, 400x600mm)
Work Area Large (24″x36″) – Fits bigger materials like furniture panels, large signs. Compact (12″x20″ to 16″x24″) – Best for small crafts, jewelry, phone cases.
Power Options Typically 40W-100W – Can cut thicker materials (8-12mm wood/acrylic). Often 5W-60W – Limited to engraving or thin cuts (≤6mm).
Space Requirements Needs a dedicated workshop space. Fits on a desktop or small workbench.
Speed & Production Faster for big jobs, but slower acceleration due to larger gantry. Quicker for small, intricate engravings.
Price 2,500−6,000+ (higher power = higher cost). 500−3,000 (entry-level to mid-range).
Best For Small businesses, furniture makers, large signage. Hobbyists, jewelry makers, small custom gifts.

Who Should Choose a 600×900 CO2 Laser?

✅ You need to cut/engrave large sheets (e.g., full-size signs, cabinet parts).
✅ Your business handles medium-scale production (custom furniture, acrylic displays).
✅ You have dedicated workshop space (requires ~5’x4′ floor area).

Popular 600×900 Models:

  • OMTech MF1224-60 (60W, great balance of power & price)

  • Thunder Laser Nova 24 (high precision, 50W-100W options)

  • Boss LS-2436 (industrial-grade, 80W-150W)

Who Should Stick with a Smaller Laser?

✅ You work on small items (engraved pens, leather patches, small wooden crafts).
✅ Space is limited (apartment, garage, or shared workspace).
✅ Budget is under $3,000 (smaller machines are more affordable).

Popular Smaller Models:

  • Glowforge Pro (12″x20″, diode laser, user-friendly)

  • xTool P2 (55W) (16″x24″, CO2/diode hybrid, fast engraving)

  • Aeon Mira 5 (compact CO2, 40W-50W)

Final Verdict: Which One Should You Buy?

  • Go for a 600x900mm laser if: You need large-format cutting/engraving and have the space/budget.

  • Choose a smaller model if: You work on smaller projects or need a portable, budget-friendly option.

Need help deciding? Ask yourself:

  1. What materials & sizes do I usually work with?

  2. Do I have enough space for a bigger machine?

  3. Is my budget flexible for higher power & size?
