What the AlgoLaser Alpha MK2 can make
The AlgoLaser Alpha MK2 is a diode laser engraver: its blue laser engraves and cuts wood, plywood, leather, paper, cardboard, fabric and dark or opaque acrylic, and marks coated or painted metal. It cannot cut clear or blue acrylic, which lets blue light through, and bare metal needs far more power or a different laser.
It has a rated laser power of 20 W – 40 W depending on the model, an optical output of 20 W, a work area of 400 × 410 mm (15.7 × 16.1 in) and a top engraving speed of 667 mm/s.
It works with a camera for positioning designs on the material, support for a rotary attachment to engrave tumblers and other round objects and LightBurn and LaserGRBL software.
In the United States the AlgoLaser Alpha MK2 sells for $629, above the median of $399 across 86 diode laser engravers with a US price, among the premium models.
AlgoLaser Alpha MK2 safety and compliance
The brand's listing does not state the AlgoLaser Alpha MK2's laser class. Open-frame diode lasers are usually Class 4: use laser safety glasses rated for the wavelength, and never leave the machine running unattended.
Every laser engraver makes smoke and fumes: run it with an exhaust to the outdoors or a fume purifier. Never cut PVC or vinyl, which release corrosive chlorine gas.
The brand states FDA compliance: laser products sold in the United States must meet the FDA's laser performance standard (21 CFR 1040.10) and be reported to the FDA, which issues an accession number.
Other compliance the brand states: CE (the manufacturer's declaration of conformity with EU product rules); FCC (US authorisation for the electronics' radio-frequency emissions); IEC 60825-1 (the international standard for laser product safety and classification (Class 1 to Class 4)); RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances in electronics (EU)).
