Laser Safety

Laser safety gear: safety glasses rated for your laser wavelength, enclosures, fume extractors and fire safety. A rating only protects you if it matches your machine, so every guide checks the stated wavelength and OD.

Not sure which type you need?

Bare metal points to a fiber laser, clear acrylic to CO2, wood and leather on a budget to a diode, and thick stock or 3D carving to a CNC router. The Machine Finder narrows it down in five questions, and the material guide shows what each type can cut.
