RF vs glass CO2 laser tested head-to-head. I compare the new OMTech Polar 2 50W RF against a traditional glass CO2 laser using the same file, speed, LPI, and leatherette patch.
In this video, I put the new OMTech Polar 2 50W RF laser through a real-world test against my OMTech Pronto 40 glass CO2 laser to show the difference in engraving quality, detail, and overall results.
I also cover the main features of the OMTech Polar 2, including the 50W RF tube, 16MP camera, desktop design, and raster speeds up to 2000 mm/s.
You’ll also see how I set up a material test card in LightBurn, dial in leatherette engraving settings, and compare the exact same patch on both machines using the same speed and LPI settings.
If you’re into laser engraving, leather patch making, LightBurn, craft business, laser business products, or you’re trying to decide between an RF CO2 laser and a traditional glass CO2 laser, this video should give you a clear look at the real-world difference.
