1️⃣ Why choose your laser cutting table carefully?

Choosing a suitable table allows for:

  • ✔️ Better air circulation
  • ✔️ Fewer burn marks
  • ✔️ Cleaner cuts
  • ✔️ Better material stability

A poor table can reduce precision and final quality.


2️⃣ Laser Cutting: Which table to choose based on your machine?

🔹 For CO2 lasers

CO2 machines require a heat-resistant table that facilitates smoke evacuation.

🔹 For diode lasers

A raised surface is essential to avoid reflections and marks under the workpiece.

👉 In both cases, the honeycomb table is the most versatile solution.
