Barbarian Laser

Expect to find everything from beginners’ guides such as how to set up a K40 laser cutter, through to advanced projects and even information and tips on how to start a laser cutter side business.

There is a wealth of information available online however there is also a lot of scattered and conflicting information. I created this site to act as a library of useful information for both newcomers and more experienced laser cutter operators.

About Us

Hey, thanks for stopping by! My name’s Ash and I’ve owned and operated my own laser cutting and engraving business since 2020. I started this website to share the knowledge I’ve gained operating and maintaining my K40 laser cutter, and hopefully inspire others to get into the world of laser engraving.

I’m a firm believer that the humble K40 laser cutter is the best entry point for those wanting to start laser cutting. Over the past few years, I have used my K40 in countless personal projects as well as running a laser cutter side business. My K40 has paid for itself many times over!
