Buy Atomstack Products
Atomstack is one of the few laser diode machine companies that offer upgrade options to make their machines more versatile. If you need a larger work area for your engraver, for example, they have an extension kit available. Or, if you want to engrave mugs, they have a rotary module. The company even offers a full enclosure for those with small spaces or no ventilation.
The X7 Pro comes unassembled and is a little more complex to assemble than the Sculpfun, but the excellent product manual sent with it makes the process easy. Almost every part is labeled in accordance with the steps in the manual, and it is possible to get the machine up and running in about 20 minutes. Once assembled, the machine is quite sturdy and feels like a solidly built piece of equipment.
It is important to remember that the ATOMSTACK X7 Pro is a powerful, high-powered device. It is capable of vaporizing wood and other flammable materials, as well as causing permanent eye damage if the beam is deflected directly into the eyes. It is therefore critical that you take all necessary safety precautions and always wear appropriate protective gear.

There is a gratifying amount of features included with the X7 Pro, including two USB ports, a TF/Micro SD card slot, a power and reset button, and an emergency stop button. It also comes with a control touchscreen that lets you choose different files and adjust settings. You can use the graphical user interface to set the origin, homing, and manually move the gantry. The software also allows you to change the cutting power and frequency.
The working area of the X7 Pro is about 410 x 400 millimeters, which is plenty for most small and medium projects. The nozzle can be raised or lowered to vary the depth of cuts. Located on the aluminum profile on one side of the work area is a measuring scale that can be used to align your motif with the laser. Alternatively, the X7 Pro can be used with a border function on its touchscreen that scans the rectangular outline of the motif at low power.
