Creality Falcon2 40W
7.8Best for Experienced makers with a ventilated workshop who want maximum cutting per dollar
Check price at Creality FalconWhich should you buy?
Buy the 22W ($549) for detailed engraving and occasional cuts up to about 3–5 mm. Buy the 40W ($639) if cutting is your main job: it cuts thick material much faster. Both need goggles and ventilation.
