Professionals can appreciate the laser for its ability to create detailed products faster than any other method. There is very little maintenance of the laser system. A daily 5 to 10 minute cleaning is all that is necessary. Since the material is vaporized, there is much less dust production. Many installations are in office environments or homes, where dust production would otherwise be unacceptable if a mechanical woodworking machine were being used.
Noise levels are very low.
There are no saw blades, router bits or powerful electric motors used with the laser. The operator can stand next to the machine and still be able to talk on the phone. No bits to sharpen, no spindles to lubricate and no tooling that wears out over time. The laser system can accommodate many other types of materials other than wood. This gives woodworkers the ability to offer other services or increase the range of products they offer.
