ACMER S1 Laser Engraver Machine, 2500mW Lazer Cutter for Wood and Acrylic

Super happy with this laser engraver! It is easy to use and I use it pretty much daily for my leather working. Very very happy with my Acmer and has definitely given me the urge to splurge on a much nicer one. Great for a beginner! 10/10 would definitely recommend if you’re looking to get into laser engraving. Only thing I will say is that without a camera on the laser, it is hard to line up what you’re trying to engrave precisely, but overall a it’s functionality is perfect!

Not only does the Acmer S1 exceptionally fit my needs for a simple laser engraver, the Acmer folks have helped me with exceptional post sale advice and education. At 80 years old, I probably need a bit more help than their average customer but they are always there for me. I use the Acmer S1 to etch a personal message on wooden pieces that I whittle. Acmer has made my retirement time a joy. Most sincerely, John Metzger

Loving this little laser engraver it been coming in handy I been using it a lot it’s super helpful with certain projects.

It's a low budget laser but I like the small space it takes up and it does what I need it to do.

This little tool is great! My first time using laser engraving. Took a little time to figure out the setup and using the software but after some practice and watching some YouTube videos I am confident in how to operate it.

I recently purchased the S1 Laser Engraver Mini Machine, and I’m absolutely delighted with its performance on my small DIY projects. Right out of the box, I was impressed by how straightforward the setup process was; the included instructions are clear and thorough, guiding me through every step without any confusion. The unit’s compact size and lightweight design make it incredibly easy to transport between my home workshop and craft table. Despite its portability, the frame feels solid and stable, giving me confidence that it won’t wobble mid-job. Though the S1 isn’t designed to rival high-powered industrial lasers, it handles fine detail work remarkably well. I’ve experimented with a variety of engraving depths on different types of wood, and the results have been consistently crisp. By simply adjusting the focal length and engraving speed, I’m able to achieve both shallow etchings and deeper cuts, all without burning or charring the surface. The included software is intuitive, so importing designs and tweaking settings takes just a few clicks. This little machine has become an indispensable tool in my creative arsenal. It’s the ideal choice for hobbyists, makers, and small business owners who need reliable precision on a budget. Whether you’re personalizing gifts, prototyping small parts, or adding detailed artwork to wood, this compact engraver delivers consistently impressive results.
