Ever since I started researching and eventually purchasing a K40 laser cutter I wondered why the next size up 50W laser cutters were so drastically different then the budget K40…
What I just found is not the normal $1500 K50 we’ve now seen for almost 10 years but instead of upscaled K40.
The K50 we are used to seeing, with 50W laser, a 24"x20" movable bed, Ruida controller, discrete stepper motor driver modules and NEMA23 motors were very different from the $400 K40. This K50 ist a ~$700 machine with 50W laser and a 15.75"x15.75" movable bed and the rest is much like the K40 so far less expansive and still does a great job. The outside case is 900mm(35.5") x 735mm(29") x 400mm(15.75").
