In this video, we take a hands-on look at both a fiber laser and a diode laser, showcasing how each one handles a variety of materials like wood, leatherette, anodized aluminum business cards, slate, and metal. We used the Monport GA60 MOPA Fiber Laser and the Algolaser Delta 22 watt diode.
Rather than pitting them against each other, this comparison is about understanding that fiber and diode lasers are simply different tools for different jobs — and if you're fortunate enough to have both, they can complement each other perfectly in your workshop.
You'll see real engraving examples and find out which machine excels with which material. Whether you're thinking about your first laser or expanding your setup, this video will help you get a better sense of what each type can offer.
Thanks for watching — I hope you find it helpful!
