Laser Cutting: Which table to choose?
In laser cutting, choosing the right table is essential for a clean cut, avoiding burns on the back of materials, and improving ventilation.
So, which table should you choose for a CO2 or diode laser machine?
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.
3️⃣ Why choose a honeycomb table?
The honeycomb structure:
- Improves ventilation
- Reduces flashbacks
- Limits marks on the back
- Holds the material perfectly
For a reliable solution compatible with both CO2 & diode, the ACMER Laser Cutting Honeycomb Work Table is available in several sizes (300x300, 330x330, 400x400, 440x440 mm) to fit your machine.
4️⃣ What size should you choose?
The choice depends on your working area:
- 300x300 mm → small projects
- 400x400 mm → most versatile size
- 440x440 mm → large working area
💡 Tip: always choose a table slightly larger than your usable area.
Conclusion: Which table to choose for laser cutting?
If you're asking which table to choose for laser cutting, the answer is simple:
✔️ Opt for a honeycomb table suited to your machine's size
✔️ Compatible with CO2 or diode
✔️ Good ventilation and stability
This is the most effective option to immediately improve the quality of your cuts.
