LONGER RAY5 Laser Engraver, Fully Upgraded with 10W Output, a 3.5-inch Color Touchscreen, and app-Based Offline Control; Ideal for Engraving Metal, Glass, and Wood. Working Area: 400×400 mm.

Longer Ray5 10 Watt Laser, purchased 3-2023 from Amazon. I wanted to add a few lines to my review after using the Longer Ray5-10 laser. I have been having a blast with it. I can now make things I never could prior to purchasing this laser. In conjuction with Lightburn laser software it is a great asset to my shop. There is a learning curve but so much help is available on the Youtube channels. I am amazed by this machine. When I received my Longer Ray 5-10 Watt Laser, I found it well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was easy. I purchased this Longer Ray5 10 Watt Laser to help my daughter with a production laser engraving job she was working on. To accomplish this, I mounted the laser to a 3/4 in. thick hard flat compressed wood board and covered that with a 20 gauge steel plate. I made custom legs as I needed the rigidity and placed them so I could use them to align my engraving fixutre plate. I also moved the touch pad control up higher as I needed to slide my fixtrue in and out from the front. After installing lightBurn on my computer I quickly discovered that this is some great software. It was easy and intuitive to use. I was able to create her logo and engrave it on the first try. I almost couldn't believe it. I was able to adjust the power and speed easily. I am engraving on the top of a 2" diameter ABS plastic ball where the graphics are 1 1/2 inch wide. The Longer Ray5 10 Watt Laser was able to do this easily. I adjusted the height on the laser modual to just clear the ball and pushed start and was pleasantly suprised to see it engraved the logo on top and down the sides of the ball witout a rotary table or a Z axis move. The precise laser beam does a great job. The ease of use of this laser and software is amazing. This is the first laser machine I owned. Before I began assembly, I had a couple of questions and Longer customer service was attentive and answered my questions in a timely manor. I was very impressed by the touch screen and its functions. I have a touch screen on my 3D printer and wanted one on my laser machine, and the Longer Ray5 10 Watt Laser comes with one standard. I highly recommend this Longer Ray5 10 Watt Laser. To show you how the Longer Ray5 10 Watt Laser engraves on a ball I clipped the Longer logo and imported it into Lightburn and engraved it on one of the 2 in. diameter balls. See pictures. I still have to make 2 slide in fixtures and may include those after completion. Each fixture plate will hold 36 2 in. ABS balls. I also will make an enclosure wit a vent. Dale

This has been a great product for me and I have been able to make a ton of amazing projects from Valetine's day cards for my granddaughter's class, coaster for a ladies tea, and photo frames for a father daughter dance at my granddaughter's school, gift card holders and so much more. It is very user friendly, was easy to set up and get started. It does the cuts in a very timely fashion. I am so glad to have this product and all the things that I am able to make with it.

I had my husband put the engraver together for me, and I'm glad I did. The written instructions weren't fantastic, so he used the video aids. He said the guy in the video kept inadvertently covering what he was doing with his hands, which made it hard to see, but he did get it figured out. I had a bit of trouble getting started with engraving because even though I followed the directions for setting it up with LightBurn, the laser head kept trying to move out of bounds, which caused the machine to error out. I found that I had to actually manually position the laser head to my starting point and use the "frame" button in the software to make sure I was staying in bounds. I am not sure how it would work with the computer-less functionality though, and I'm not brave enough to try it. It takes a bit of playing with the settings to get a nice even burn without it being too light or too dark, but once you figure it out, it works really well and I'm really happy with the quality, especially considering this is an entry-level engraver. I very well may decide to upgrade in the future.

I use this laser everyday. There is a learning curve to all lasers, but overall this is very easy to use, especially with lightburn. Build quality is good, and the cutting bed is large, and expandable. I use the 10W version for all my 5mm plywood cuts, and it does a great job, often without using all the available power. The cuts are accurate and it replicates complex shapes well.

This laser machine is incredible. Assembly was easy and within an hours I was making things. After several weeks I had a small problem but emailed customer support and it was quickly resolved.

I wanted to get into laser engraving with a simple, but capable starter machine. The Ray5 proved to be just the ticket. It came well packaged, with clear assembly instructions. The parts were finely machined and fit perfectly. The 5W laser can mark, engrave and even cut 5 MM plywood in multiple passes. The movement is very precise, at least at the low speeds I use. I use a tablet to control it via WiFi, but the built in touch screen works fine too. You can generate drive files using the free programs Laser Burn or Laser GRBL or hand program in G-Code.

I bought this on January 29, 2025. February I had my 1st issue with it. A motor went out. Took like 6 weeks to get a replacement from LONGER from the warranty. Here it is October & now my 2nd issue with it. I keep sending emails to customers support. With all the information. What it's doing & what it's not. What i checked. Also sent them all my contact info. They email me back 3 times now. Keep asking me the same stuff. I have sent them. This is ridiculous. I not happy at all. I have a wedding event that I need to have stuff made for in 3 more days. So I'll have to cancel it. At last minute. Makes me look very bad. Not happy, I wouldn't ever buy LONGER products ever again or recommend their products to anyone!!!

The laser has been working well for me and customer service has been very helpful. Everything worked out of the box and wasn’t hard to get assembled. Somehow I messed up the main board by switching motor cables to the rotary attachment. Customer service helped me troubleshoot the issue over email and then sent me a new main board for free without any hassle. I’m back up and running.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the focus tool (the meta cylinder to adjust the height if the laser)? My guess is the manufacturer forgot to package one or.sent me a used one. Everything looks brand new so I'm assuming one just was not packaged

Longer, una garanzia. Ottimo laser, preciso, veloce e facile da montare. La potenza del laser da 10w, mi permette di arrivare a tagliare compensato da 10mm in 3 passaggi e quello da 8mm in 1 passaggio soltanto. Io ho implementato una pompa d’assistenza aria, perché lo faccio muovere più lentamente di quanto indicato in tabella, quindi avevo bisogno di disperdere il calore per non far bruciare troppo il legno e il risultato è ottimo. La precisione del laser mi permette di incidere fotografie con un’alta risoluzione. Al momento non ho ancora provato altri materiali.

Laser potente e de boa qualidade, facil de montar, requer um bocado de aprendizagem para usar mas tirando isso é uma boa maquina, tive apenas um pequeno problema no encaixe de dois parafusos na parte de trás do laser. Recomendo totalmente e para o preço dificilmente se arranja um produto preço/qualidade melhor.

This machine took some figuring out and made me crazy in the beginning and then I figured it out and it was working well…for a while. It was seamless and I was really excited. And then it started to have issues uploading the file so I would have to restart each time to get it to work, and then slowly but surely it stopped uploading the files at all. I can only assume it’s a firmware issue but when I try to update the firmware, I can’t do it because it’s a .exe and I only have apple products. So this machine that I had purchased so that I could make a side income is sitting and collecting dust. I’m beyond frustrated with this. If anyone could help, I’d be most grateful.

El producto está excelente, pero ya me empezo a fallar uno de los motores de unos de los ojos, aún no cumple el año, tiene garantía el motor aún? De ahí en fuera el producto está súper...
