What this machine physically cannot do
This is a diode laser, roughly 450 nm blue light. That wavelength decides what it can touch, and no settings change moves the boundary:
It cannot cut clear acrylic. Transparent acrylic barely absorbs blue light — the beam passes straight through and marks whatever is under the sheet. This is the single most common disappointment with a diode machine, and it is physics, not power. Dark and opaque acrylic can be cut, because the pigment absorbs the beam. If clear acrylic matters to you, you need a CO2 machine.
It cannot engrave bare metal. It will mark coated, anodised or painted metal very well by burning the coating away, which covers most of what people actually want. Bare steel or aluminium needs a fiber laser.
What it is genuinely good at: wood, plywood, MDF, leather, card, felt, painted and anodised surfaces — and it is quiet, cheap to run and has no mirrors to align.
What fits, and what it is like to live with
The bed is 850 × 800 mm. In practice that means it takes a 600 × 400 mm hobby sheet flat, and you can nest roughly 64 100 mm coaster blanks in a single run before you have to reload.
Unusually powerful for a diode, with a very large bed. It closes much of the cutting-speed gap to a mid CO2 machine on wood, and the working area is bigger than most CO2 machines at this price. The clear-acrylic limit still applies, and a frame this size needs to be properly squared or engraving drifts across the bed.
Atomstack X70 Max (70W) FAQ
How fast does the Atomstack X70 Max (70W) cut 3 mm plywood?
About 10 mm/s. Cutting a 100 × 60 mm part (320 mm of cut) takes roughly 32 s of machine time on the Atomstack X70 Max (70W).
Can the Atomstack X70 Max (70W) cut clear acrylic?
No. The Atomstack X70 Max (70W) is a diode laser (~450 nm) and passes straight through clear acrylic. It can cut dark, opaque acrylic. Use a CO2 laser for clear acrylic.
What is the Atomstack X70 Max (70W) bed size?
The Atomstack X70 Max (70W) has a 850 × 800 mm work area (33.5 × 31.5 inches). That is the largest part it can cut in one pass without repositioning the material.
How much does it cost to run the Atomstack X70 Max (70W)?
Laser cutting is priced by machine time: cut length ÷ cutting speed × passes = time, then time × hourly rate + setup. At €60/h a 100 × 60 mm plywood part costs about €0.53. Use the calculator to price your own file.
