CO2 laser price list
This price list covers CO2 laser cutters and engravers by working area and tube power, with permanent published list prices rather than short-term specials. It is meant for workshops comparing size, power and extraction before asking for a written quote.
| Working area | Tube power | Typical use | Cooling setup | List price (ex VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 600 x 400 mm | 60 W | Light engraving and thin cutting | Standard chiller | R 89 500 |
| 900 x 600 mm | 80 W | Mixed engraving and acrylic cutting | Standard chiller | R 118 500 |
| 900 x 600 mm | 100 W | Heavier daily cutting duty | Upgraded chiller | R 136 500 |
| 1 300 x 900 mm | 100 W | Sign work and sheet nesting | Upgraded chiller | R 184 500 |
| 1 300 x 900 mm | 130 W | Thicker acrylic and plywood work | Industrial chiller | R 219 500 |
| 1 400 x 1 000 mm | 150 W | Production cutting and engraving | Industrial chiller | R 268 500 |
| 1 600 x 1 000 mm | 150 W | Larger panel work | Industrial chiller | R 294 500 |
| 1 600 x 1 200 mm | 180 W | Longer runs and larger layouts | Heavy-duty chiller | R 346 500 |

How to read the price rows
The price rows let you compare one machine against the next without guessing what changed. Start with bed size, then look at tube power, then check whether the row is aimed more at light engraving, mixed cutting, or longer daily production. A larger bed often matters more than a higher wattage if your work includes signage panels, jig plates or repeated batches laid out side by side.
Most buyers in KwaZulu-Natal compare three things first: the sheet size they need to load, the thickest material they expect to cut, and how many hours the machine will run in a normal week. That usually narrows the list quite quickly.
- Bed size affects usable working area and material layout.
- Tube power affects cutting speed, edge finish and the thickness range you can handle sensibly.
- Chiller size, extraction and control options change the final written quote.
What the listed configurations include
Each listed configuration is priced as a complete basic working machine, not a stripped shell. The standard build normally includes the laser cabinet, motion system, control system, tube set for the stated wattage range, standard focusing arrangement, water cooling package suited to that power bracket, and a starter extraction connection point. The listed price also assumes a standard mains setup suited to the machine class.
List prices are for stable reference when you are comparing options internally or preparing a finance discussion. We do not use clearance pricing, ex-demo tags or one-off sale wording on this site.
- Machine frame and work bed.
- CO2 tube and matched power components.
- Basic cooling arrangement for the stated power.
- Controller and operating interface.
- Standard delivery scope for a new machine configuration.
What usually changes the price
Mechanical size, cooling duty, table style and extraction needs all affect the price from one row to the next. If you are engraving coated tags all day, your needs differ from a workshop cutting thicker acrylic letters or plywood templates.
Shops in coastal air often ask for a better extraction layout and tidier fume management, especially where acrylic and laminated boards are being processed every day. That part is worth costing properly from the start as part of the machine setup.
- Motorised up-and-down table for thicker workpieces.
- Rotary attachment for bottles, sleeves or cylindrical items.
- Higher capacity water chiller for heavier cutting duty.
- Air assist upgrades and nozzle options.
- Extraction fan, ducting run and filtration arrangement.
Choosing bed size for actual jobs
A small-format laser can be the right buy for stamps, labels, gift items and parts marking, but it becomes limiting once sheet material enters the picture. For sign shops and fabrication rooms, a mid-size bed is often the practical starting point because it allows useful nesting without taking over the whole floor. Larger beds suit panel work, repeated component sets and longer material lengths.
If your work includes MDF templates, acrylic face panels, thin plywood, carton mock-ups or rubber engraving stock, measure the real job sizes before comparing prices. The best value comes from a machine size that matches the material you load most often.
Add-ons commonly written into quotes
The machines on the list are the base reference, then the written quote adds the items your workshop is likely to need on day one. That can include extraction, a rotary device, spare lenses, mirrors, consumables and handling items. Where the machine will be used for production rather than occasional prototyping, buyers often add a second set of optics and a sensible stock of service parts.
- Extraction package matched to fumes and room layout.
- Rotary unit for cylindrical engraving work.
- Spare mirrors, lenses and nozzle parts.
- Consumable starter pack for routine running.
- Crating, inland delivery and offloading where required.
Turning a list price into a written quote
If the table gives you the right ballpark, the next step is a written quote that reflects your material sizes, intended use and extras. Use our contact form with the bed size you are considering, the main materials you cut or engrave, and whether you need extraction, delivery or finance figures included. That lets the quote line up with the way your shop actually works and keeps the specification relevant to your operation.
Many buyers compare a CO2 laser against a router, plotter or printer for the same product line, so it helps to state what part of the job the laser must carry. If you need numbers for a bank file or internal capex pack, say that in the message and we will set the quote out in a tidy way.

Questions we get asked
Does a higher wattage tube always mean a better choice?
Higher wattage helps with thicker material and faster cutting, but bed size, cooling and extraction may matter more if your work is mainly engraving or thin sheet cutting.
Are the list prices enough for finance planning?
They help with early budgeting. For finance comparisons, use a written quote with delivery, extraction, accessories and the exact machine configuration included.
Can I ask for a quote that includes other equipment on this site?
Include the other equipment in your request if you are comparing a laser with routing, plotting or printing equipment. That helps the written quote reflect the whole buying decision.
