Quick verdict
The Monport GA 60W is a one-piece MOPA fiber laser with one-button autofocus, a 175 x 175 mm field lens and a laser arm that rotates 90 degrees for oversized items. It costs $4,200 on Monport's US store, or $4,400 with LightBurn. The MOPA source gives the pulse width control needed for color marking on stainless and deep 3D engraving, and Monport claims it cuts 2 mm stainless and similar metals. It competes head to head with the ComMarker B6 MOPA 60W: a bigger field, more lens-to-bed height and a two-year warranty, against more weight, no included glasses and a slightly higher price.
What you still need
1064 nm laser safety glasses for everyone in the room ($45 each from Monport), an enclosure if others share the space (Monport's $539 enclosure with door switch), fume extraction (Monport's 200W extractor is $329.99), a LightBurn licence or the $4,400 bundle, and a rotary ($170 more as a bundle) for tumblers and ringsMaterial reality check
Marks, color marks and deep engraves stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, gold, silver and titanium, and marks stone, black acrylic, leather and hard plastic.
