This is my unboxing of the Monport K40 CO2 laser. It works with LightBurn out of
the box and comes with several other useful additions.

I walk through the outside of the machine, the CW-3000 chiller and the exhaust, 
then do a test fire using the ammeter test in LightBurn. I also take a quick look
at the inside.

The extra power lets it cut a lot faster than a diode laser, which is why I reach
for it for a lot of jobs in my shop. I have mirror alignment and air assist install
videos coming up next.

If you’ve been using a diode laser and want more cutting speed and power, the K40
with LightBurn is a solid step up.
