I have bought one of these 40W chinese laser, with the USB port! ( Important!) The older parallel port styles are still around. And It is amazing what you actually get for little money. Laser PSU, Airpump, Waterpump, 40w tube, Controller, metal case and adjustable Table height adjustment and XY mechanism, Mirrors and lenses..
The 40W laser can cut up to 6mm plywood with about 10 passes, but then you do get slight V cuts. It will cut acrylic sheet very easily, and does raster engraving.
The 2W laser diode has no chance of of this level of performance.
Any one paying $600 for a $50 laser diode and some printer parts is silly
If anything my next upgrade is to build a bigger platform for it so it can cut bigger sizes. currently it can do about an A4 sheet size.
