Sweet-spot model: Breeze M4060-50 (400 × 600 mm, 50 W) at US $999 still cuts 8 mm ply in one pass and engraves 300 dpi photos at 600 mm/s—fast enough to monetize phone-case runs after dinner .

- Auto-tracking Z with 230 mm clearance; no spacer jigs for 100 mm souvenir logs  
- Three-stage filtration tower (pre + HEPA + activated carbon) ships in the same crate—meets new EU VOC rules out the gate  
Sweet-spot model: Storm S1390-100 (1 300 × 900 mm, 100 W) runs two-shift acrylic signage: 15 mm clear acrylic, 12 mm MDF, or 0.8 mm leather in conveyor batches. Optional 2-head kit doubles throughput for textile appliqué at < 15 % premium .

- Reci W8 300 W metal tube rated 12 000 h; water-cooled with closed-loop chiller included  
- Dual servo gantry + steel milled frame keep ±0.05 mm over full 2.5 m sheet—good for puzzle-fit foam inserts  
- Conveyor and auto-nesting vision (HD CCD) now plug-and-play; no third-party pendants  
Sweet-spot model: Typhoon T2540-250 (2 500 × 4 000 mm, 250 W) slit-cuts 25 mm MDF at 25 mm/s or 40 mm EVA foam in a single pass; with the roll-feed kit it becomes a carton-sample table that competes with $40 k flatbed knives .

Decision Matrix in 30 Seconds  
- < 10 h/week personal use, materials ≤ 8 mm → Breeze 50 W  
- 10–40 h/week, mixed acrylic/wood/textile, need pass-through or rotary → Storm 100 W  
- 40 h+/week, sheet goods > 1 m, or thick (> 15 mm) stock → Typhoon 200–300 W
