The A40640 is a variable/fixed focus. It's the best module on the market. If you look at the diode, it can be both long and short focus. With a screwdriver, turn the diode all the way in and then back it off a turn or so. That is the cutting setting at about a 17mm long focus. Dial it out and you can get a focus as small as 3mm. You also need to do a ramp test to find the focus and cut your own focal gage once you set the diode. The air assist M8 module attaches with the double sided tape they provided. This is a pro-quality laser, and not for the average user. There is no other diode laser on the market that even comes close to the Max3 at any price IMO.
Yes, the ramp test is good for finding the best focus. This variable focus laser module is suitable for professional guy, it is not suitable for new baby to use this. If you don't have the patience to adjust this, many people will go crazy because of it. btw,The advice you gave is the most professional I have seen.
@@Kun373 Thanks... I've had the A40640 module for a year now, and with 9 other diode lasers, none of them even come close to this one. I also have the Max 3.
Good to know Rich. My contact with them was horrible at getting me any information on the machine.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild Marketing people don't use lasers Nick! 🤪
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy hope your video coming soon !
Does anybody know how to adjust for kerf when the laser focus is a rectangle like with the 4063 or 4064?
I would appreciate since this is a big killer of any precise cutting project for me now
I was on the fence, but you sold me with your Jake Paul comment. I'm now 100% on board. Proceed.
🤣🤣
PC=polycarbonate
Love a comparison to the Sculpfun s10
Fox Alien? 10 watt output comparison. Thx
I would love to see the Atomstack X7 Pro with their rotary and extension towers. I've got some ideas for some leather projects and I'm wondering if their rotary + extension towers are capable of doing something like a leather belt. Got an xtool right now and it's been good so far.
hello, I bought a neje 3 max and I can't cut 0.4 mm thick material, I work in light burn and I set it to maximum power and even if I let it go through 8 times it still doesn't manage to cut
where am I wrong?
Sounds like a focus issue.
Hello, can you tell me if the E40 can cut 1.5mm single layer cardboard?..not the currogated type....just one layer kinda like a cereal box cardboard but a little thicker..will it cut it perfect and perfect edges with decent speed?
yes
@@BuildDadBuild in one pass? thanks
Nearly choked on my coffee.wtf is going on,.when did the Yanks start using millimetres
So you can run this machine with lightburn? I've seen so many mixed reviews on Amazon and Neje themselves saying no you can't. Great video btw!
You sure can! 👍🏻👍🏻
@Build Dad Build Perfect, just ordered it and the extension but that won't be here until March 13th to April 3rd so much ship from China. Thanks for the reply man!
I'd love to see the Xtool 20v laser head when it's available.
They have asked me not to make a video on it until it starts shipping.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild awesome I was going to ask about this as well it’s a jump in price so I didn’t buy b just yet but I want can’t wait for your videos
They started shipping today 😀
Very nice presentation 👏
I have the previous model. I love the size the laser it came with was ok. Recently upgraded it to the newer madels 40w input and it rocks. I do my cutting with it and use my k40 for engraving it seems more accurate for repeating burns.
Hey brother, if the laser has to be fixed to a base, how do you use a rotary tool?HELP!
It doesn’t need to be fixed to a base. You can just raise it up. 👍🏻👍🏻
l like your new logo. I have a small sign business, l make alot decals on a wide format printer/plotter.
To be P C I think you have some polycarbonate there, the inclusions on the kit seem to be subject to the time of order.
Thanks for the video.
Can It itch Anodized Aluminum ?
I’m not sure.
has anyone tested this laser on just regular old mild steel? I wonder what it would look like with the mill-scale.
Laser envy 🤣 yup that’s me
LOL
no i would not spend 599 on that laser...325 yes.
Ive been very impressed with the Sculpfun s6 pro. 60watts with the extinction rods. still building a box and still experimenting. Thanks bro
Everybody says that the new X-toll rotary is compatible with the FoxAlien 20W reizer, but I have not seen a single video yet to prove it. Could you? Please.
I don't have a FoxAlien...so I don't really have a way to do that! I'll reach out to them.
Cheers
I see this on AliExpress advertised as 80 watt. Is that true, or just input wattage, or something?
I believe that's 80 watts in, 10 watts output.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild Ah ok. Deceptive marketing for sure, lol
Would totally buy that just for the size. Thank brother for the amazing video
Started watching the video then immediately went to Amazon to buy a handheld electric screwdriver 😂😂😂
Love my WowStick!
You have done a great job at reviewing the pro max. I am both amazed at the size this laser can accept and a bit deceived by the alleged one pass 18mm plywood (forgive the metric , I’m french) that seems quite exaggerated .
I would kill (figuratively) to see how it compares to the new E40 module from neje or the atomstack 4 leds 130w not to speak of the future 4leds E80 neje module. Thanks for the review again.
Sure thing!
Cheers
I like the size and the fact that has homing Switches
Will you be getting the Atomstack X20 Pro 20w?
I have not been contacted about it, yet.
What power precision screwdriver are you using? Do you recommend it? Are they worth the money?
Love my Wowstick! Totally worth it if you're working with a lot of small machined parts that would normally require an allen wrench or something like that.

xtool 20W laser module when it comes out? or you got that pull for a little early promo?
Coming soon
How do you feel cut/engrave compairs to the xtool d1 10w? These are the two I have been looking at trying to decide which one is best suited for me.
Have you used any rotary tool with it? Specifically ra2 pro from xtool?
Could you do more specific video of focusing it?
I would take the xTool over this every day of the week.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild any specifics as to what makes you choose xtool vs this one? Just looking for info to help make my decision one way or the other. I like that xtool is going to be offering the option to go larger format soon.
80w CO2 Chinese Laser
do diode lasers do the same job to every project you can put? with dif settings?
Within reason, yes.
With the NEJE 3 MAX, have you tried (and if not can you) cut about a 3" circle out of 1/8 ply and then try to turn the cut out circle while holding it in the cut out hole? This is a quick way to test the circles cutting accuracy. If it is near perfect, the cut disc will turn smoothly in the hole it is cut from. If it is slightly oval, it will resist turning.
I no longer have this laser set up in my shop.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild OK Thanks. Xtools is coming out with an extension for the D1 making it almost the same size as the NEJE 3 MAX so I will probably be going with the D1.
could not find any link to you workbench build.

Nice shirt thanks for representing one our local makers.
Of course!
Brandy's a homie!
If there is an air assist, it can cut well and reduce the carbonization reaction.
Correct. I still am not sure it would have gone through 3/4 ply though.
How would you rate this laser machine or, in another way, between this and others like Atomstack S10, Sculpfun S10, what rating would you give to all three, in terms of good finish, laser power, etc? Thanks for the review
A lot of folks will say the Neje laser head is the best on the market. I don't care for it due to ease of use.
I would rate those three in the following order:
1 - Neje
2- Sculpfun
3 - Atomstack
@@BuildDadBuild Okay, thanks for the reply.
One more question: This issue of having to rotate the lens on Neje to get the correct focus, something that neither Atomstack nor Sculpfun needs, don't you find it a little uncomfortable?
i would like to know which diode laser is the strongest diode laser and best right now on the market? i want to use it mostly for cutting wood like plywood and birch,walnut,ect.if possible as well cutting aluminium sheet for business cards 0.2mm thick.that would be awesome.
@@relaxingpure1845 Stronger are the ones that use 20W laser like Atomstack X20 Pro and xTOOL D1 20W but I'm not sure if it cuts aluminum foil. Is the aluminum thickness you refer to 0.2mm or 2mm? If it's 0.2mm, maybe cut.
@@Dancopymus the thickness of the business cards are 0.2mm so not even 1mm thick.
Ive already reached out to OMTech and told them to contact you. Hopefully they do! Have you run a ramp test gor ideal focus length? This was a good review today! Thank you
I was thinking of doing a ramp test. Then they contacted me with the details on the new laser head and I figured I'd wait for that to come in.
Cheers
