A fiber laser on this shelf is a marking machine, not a knife and not a plate-cutting bed. Canadian makers searching for a fiber laser engraver usually want a 30W or 50W desktop head that will put a logo, serial, or scale legend on steel, titanium, or coated parts — without a US-shop brokerage on a CAD cart. This hub pulls those four machines off the knife-making supplies shelf so you can compare wattage without scrolling past handle scales.
30W is the usual first marker: jewellery, cups, and knife tangs at a working pace. 50W is faster on deep black-mark and light cutting of thin sheet as the listing allows. Titles that also say “cutting” still mean a galvo marker with a small field (often 110×110 mm), not a CO2 gantry for plywood. Confirm voltage, included lens, and the actual wattage on the product page before you order into a Canadian shop.
Priced in CAD from documented source cost plus a documented retail margin. Tracked shipping, typically two to four weeks, and these machines clear free shipping over $150 on their own. Adults 18+. These are shop tools: vent the work, wear eyewear rated for the wavelength, and do not treat a marking laser as a toy.
They are marking lasers. Some 50W listings claim light cutting of thin sheet inside a small field. They are not a replacement for a waterjet, a bandsaw, or a belt grinder. Read the product page for wattage and field size.
What wattage do I need to mark a knife?
30W is enough for logos, serials, and coated or stainless tangs at a working pace. 50W is faster on deep black-mark. The four machines on this hub are 30W or 50W desktop galvos as listed.
Do these run on Canadian household power?
Some listings are 110V, some 220V. Read the product page. If voltage is not written, write to orders@knifevault.ca before you order.
Is a fiber laser the same as a belt grinder?
No. A belt grinder removes steel to form bevels. A fiber laser marks what you already made. Grinders live on the belt-grinders hub; this page is the markers.
Do fiber lasers get free shipping over $150?
Yes. Tracked shipping is 10% of merchandise, free when the order is $150 CAD or more. These machines clear that threshold on their own. Delivery is typically two to four weeks in plain packaging.
