- Aeon Laser US provided this laser for free for review.
I've been using my OMTech Orion Motors 60w black and yellow laser cutter for almost a year now and it's be a great purchase. But after having for a year, I've learned that there's some features and abilities I've been missing.
I recently got the Aeon Laser US 90w Mira 9 and have been incredibly happy. However, it's MUCH more expensive.
Is the Aeon a worthy upgrade at 3x the price? I'll walk you through the differences of both, what's better or worse, and what the Aeon can do that the OMTech cannot.
The results might surprise you!

Just installed a new Omtech 60w. Auto-focus, powered bed, full acrylic cover, internal air assist. For the price, I'll take 3 of them any day...
thanks for the demo very good info on the machines
The irony of an unfocused shot discussing how to use the autofocus on the machine is magic.
Really appreciate the video and the examples in real time.
Very impressive,thanks Ben!
Nice comparison and thorough first impression review! Helped me make the decision for this machine!
Which one did you get?
Thanks for the video. Very helpful guys
Glad it was helpful!
Great review, very helpful
Thanks for the review...it's a great help.
I'm in the mist of selecting 1x 9060 model and 10x 1390 with 4 laser head synchronous cut and engraving in very near term.
I wish you could compare the yellow unit of equal cutting size and with auto alignment and pwr z-table adjust. Their advertise speed is also much higher than 500.
However, I hope to find one with much higher speed without the vibration on the rail...as that will determine the quality, quantity and time
Thanks for posting, great video and very helpful for the question a lot of people have- why get the more expensive machine. It really depends on where you are with your business and what your needs are
Your welcome! I’m glad it’s helpful! It’s definitely info I would have liked to know before investing $$
This would be a fair comparison if:
" A. You guys actually dishout $12000 plus taxes plus shipping for the MIRA9 from your wallets "
Or,
" B. the comparison was done with MIRA7 at paid from pocket $7000 plus taxes plus shipping "
I appreciate the time and effort you expensed in this video and I learned a lot from it. You could've just made a detailed video about MIRA9 and ask your audiences to go and watch your other videos about the other machines. This one sounds a bit like a paid promotional advert spot for MIRA9.
I had two lasers, I showed them off side by side.
Thanks for sharing that!
You're welcome, hope it was helpful!
I have that exact same yellow and black machine. Thinking about following you and getting the Aeon.
The black and yellow has been a GREAT purchase. I actually sold if for what I paid for it. Definitly money maker....but the aeon is just sooo much faster...production tripled! If I had the space, think I might have kept them both. (if you do end up getting the Aeon, use my link in the description!)
Appreciate you adding that Aeon gave you the laser for the review. Overall both Chinese designed and built but US support is always the way to go.
Great video, thanks Ben. I went with the new OMTech 130watt. Half price and does exactly what the Mira does for half price and with a bigger bed.
exactly? speedwise?
@@robxsiq7744 Half the price and 1/10 of the quality and performance. The new 130W is the WORST. Feet tend to be crushed and bowed. Work bed not level creating a slope throughout the work area. Very hard to fix on the 130W body. You can't unbend most of the thick steel frames for accuracy. A lot of the frames are misaligned in bad manufacturing process. Fake 130W tube (60-80W true power), Fake warranty, Fake Support, cheapest knockoff parts, the hatch looks great only from the photos, they come with manufacturing defects and misalignments attached to useless sensors. Tons of bubbles on the glass caused by heat guns in cheap quick labor. They call the controller new but it's the old one with a new face without many missing shortcut buttons. Do not recognize files uploaded from the latest software. Parts aren't made to last.
@@loganp.4054 why dont you tell us how you really feel
bur for real. thanks for the heads up
@@loganp.4054 You act as though painting it black, upgrading the wiring, and sending you some helpful "how to" videos changes all that It's not like Aeon changes the bulb out...puts upgraded servo motors on it and changes out the mirrors. They align the mirrors for you and upgrade the wiring and then charge you triple the price.
@@garrydye2394 Pretty much!
My firm is into rubber stamps making, we have the MIRA9 with the 50W Iradion RF Tube installed, it is much more expensive than $11K, but it's output speed and quality is very comparable to our $60,000++ Trotec Speedy 300 machine. The Mira saved cost with flimsier construction and skipped some fancy features found on the Trotec unit, but it has performed very satisfactorily so far.
I've had my OMtech for about a year, so far it has been a very good machine, especially for the price.
Its good if you don't have a lot of money initially and don't want to do financing, but thing is, you will be producing far less overall, so if you're going to do production or selling stuff online, that will seriously limit you and ultimately the saving you had at the beginning caps your potential sales. But if you're just doing occasional jobs, its fine.
Eventually end up costing double or triple the original cost in part replacements or you haven't used it enough yet. You also get much more correct power from tubes installed on other brands.
Another thing what I do before cutting the actual material is to cut first a hole to set my cutting parameters power and the feed rate and the assist to save the material
I'd like to see you guys do a little tempered glass engravings or etchings
very unfair comparison. As far as I know you can buy a motorised bed as an option. If as you said both rotaries are "after market" could you have perhaps used the slim line one for the OM model?......nothing like getting a 12,000 dollar machine for nothing, and dont tell me it isnt yours because your logo is plastered all over.
Agreed. It's just confirmation that more power cuts faster and deeper
You guys seem so impressed with a lot of things that together would cost a couple of hundred dollars and a day working to retrofit. Besides good support and cutting a bit faster and a bit larger I am having a hard time seeing where the other $8k is going improve my life.
get the omtech then! its still a fine machine!
indeed a comparison between a Porche and a Vauxhall. :) You should compare an OMTech with a Trotec !! fairer!!
The hand crank is far superior!! I have one laser with it and one with autofocus. Just wait until your autofocus pin hits something and ruins the entire cut. Definitely have a love hate relationship with the autofocus, but absolutely love the hand crank!
Embed a hex rod on the top of the knob and have a drill with a magnetic chuck that you can use to wind it up and down quickly.
Dam I bought a big machine. (Receiving it in 2 weeks) Mine is 1000 x 800 150 Watts. I paid 2600. Plus shipping. Mine included the same chiller and rotary table. My tube is a reci also. Your giving me so much good news.
No offense, but this entire video is a sales pitch for Aeon. Clearly a better laser without a doubt...but its tough when you talk about noise issues from the OMTECH but the AEON is loud as heck when you run it. Manual crank is slower on the OMTECH but when you're batching out the same thing, its not a huge issue. Manual can be a bonus too, easier to repair. Sure the OMTECH is slower, but for the price you could quite literally run 3/4 of them at the same time allowing you not only to do mostly the same work at the same speed but also run different jobs simultaneously. I think the hobbyist nature of OMTECH is an advantage. Its easier to replace parts, fix things, upgrade as time goes on. Appreciate the work put into this video but it was not a great comparison.
+1 great points.
Can the Omtech mf2028-100 cut 18ga metal? I am on a budget and at 4k its slightly over what I should be considering but it I could do thin metals as thick as 18ga steel I would make it happen. Looking at purchasing a laser cutter but everything I am finding is different materials but it states it can cut metal.
In the first 30m it is easy to determine the real difference.... one is essentially plug and play while the other requires a lot of tinkering around. That right there should easily let someone know which way they want to go. I have no desire to tinker and replace sub-standard parts so for me... the decision is extremely easy.
So in your opinion, which one is better. I fell asleep during the video, lol
Black and yellow comes in larger co2 as well so not truly comparable at all skewed for promo
That huge fan in the yellow black would probably cause a slight loss in detail due to vibration, correct?
OmTech has customer support now. Just FYI
About the LEDs ... the OMTECH's gantry blocks its own, single LED strip. Drove me nuts! Bought a 6-bar LED kit, now it's like a stadium in my 80W Omtech :D
Just one of numerous upgrades made....if I could upgrade from steppers to servos, it could be perfect.
Would you mind sharing the link to the lights you bought? I need to upgrade! Too!
@@reynoirjr There are a lot of equivalent producs. What's important is that it's modular, so if any of the light bars fail, plug and play a replacement. The fun part is securing everything up and out of the way. I used magnetic tape to hold the light bars to the machines shell, and velcro cable ties to tie up the cords between the lights.
@@jpotter2086 thanks im gonna do some digging and research.
Let's compare a Yugo with a BMW - surprise the BMW is better. It's not really a fair comparison. Maybe compare the Mira to an Epilog?
I compared the two I have. If epilogue wants to send me one for comparison, I’ll let them know my address
Wouldn't the speed be a limitation of the settings on the yellow and black machine, I'm sure you could go faster but they are probably set conservative from the factory
By the clock 2000mm/s took longer than 1000mm/s, acceleration is most likely the limiting factor here, neat to see that there's enough power to make an engraving with those settings, thanks.(someone else may have commented, but you can edit the max allowable speed on a ruida controller in the firmware settings and get a little more out of your machine, I believe the firmware max for all ruida controllers is 2000mm/s so you can't run a ruida controlled laser faster than that without adding "epicycles" to the math)
I noticed that most of the OMtech are out of stock. Do they plan on restocking soon. I was looking at getting the 60 watt just like you have.
Where can I get a free Mira?
If you have to use a HAMMER to knock out your part and blow out the back side, that was NOT a 1 pass cut. The guy running the omtech had the same result and did not call that a 1 pass cut.
Anything suggestions is to use helium assist gas for clear acrylic for crystal clear edge quality I use helium assist gas for a 1500 watt co2 laser mazak and for s.s. steel I use liquid nitrogen for assist gas
Just bought the OMTech MF2028-60 today. Why? It's cheaper. Just plunked down 4K and that's with CW-5200 and software. Free shipping, so it's always nice. I'm not using it for my business, I need it to engrave my vendor booth signs and make display stands from 5mm plywood. I will be mostly doing engraving on this thing and 60W 20 x 28 (a little less than that in reality) is a HUGE upgrade to what I currently have which is a blue diode laser......Snapmaker. I'm looking forward to receiving my OMTech Laser.
Hi I was watching the laser on both the way you cut the wood maybe you need to increase the air assist for cutting I think it wood blow those remaining uncut wood
Another great video. OMTechs new versions have a lot of these upgrades including full size viewing window, more stable honeycomb, fan and air assist. I really wish I’d have sprung for the 5200 rather than 3000 chiller. The lighting on the Mira looks awesome and the laser, automated deck movement and auto focus are great features, I’ve always wondered what the extra costs would get you! I use the drill to raise an lower my OMTech but I drilled out the knob and attached an old bit so I don’t have to remove knob each time. Do you think you could return to an exact location on a rotary with the Mira?
OMTech's new versions are full of gimmicks. Their viewing window really sucks. Frames are misaligned. Their doors don't shut properly causing errors with crappy sensors on them. They use cheapest air assist, which is not a proper assist at all. Fans are a real joke too. They get tons of negative feedbacks removed on eBay past many years. You won't see many or no positive feedback probably because most of them were all negative and eBay keeps deleting the negative ones for them.
@@actionherohouse1203 Which OMtech have you been using? I am looking for a laser, I have serveral years previous experience with Epilog but thats not what im going to be getting for home use. In my research it seems 3rd party fan and air assist are pretty much common sense from-the-get-go upgrades for anybody who is serious about using an omtech. I'm still on the fence, but not sure that several thousand dollars difference (even with upgrades considered) are worth it for part-time kind of work
I do engraving only with several OMtech machines now, my machines very somewhat but to get the darkness and quality of engrave that I want I'm typically running 250/20 if I go faster the engraves get lighter and/or rough edges.
Do you have any videos up showing darkness of engrave at high speeds? This video the faster engrave was too light for what I need but you only showed 2 power settings at the full 1600.
Very helpful. I think the Mira 7 is a good way to go.
Definitely! I'm super impressed with it. Mention Myers Woodshop if you go the aeon route!
Well... this video convinced me that if I ever get enough money to buy a machine, it will be an Aeon Mira... even if I start with a Mira 5.
Nice! Make sure to use my link or mention me when ordering!
What machine would you recommend for business cards engraving? (large scale engraving hundreds a week)
interestingly the aeon china website states that the Aeon Vega, Nova and Mira series were infact designed by almira laser from turkey. They are made in china however.
Wow. They gave you an $11k laser. Sweet
I do the same thing with the drill. Hitting that rail with my knuckle is always a bad time
I have permanent scars now from that rail.
First off, let me say that I'm considering a LASER machine in my future and don't have one ....YET. What do you do for "make-up air"? Since the exhaust fans are extracting the smoke from the machines, where is the air coming from to replace that air being blown outside? It becomes expensive to run HVAC to condition the make up air unless you can supply outside air directly to the machine. That could be a problem for me in Arizona. Another problem I have with the extraction of the smoke is since I live in a community with a HOA, there are rules about producing noxious fumes and odors and I can't see a viable means of getting the fumes away from any busy-bodies that don't like the smell of burning acrylic and plywood. Is there a means of filtering the odors or maybe incinerating the fumes?
no drill. lol Grab the belt under the table and pull back and forth it to lower it fast! please try it. I do it all the time.
hey what camera did you guys use
I appreciate this review as comparisons are important. Wish Aeon would provide me with the Mira 7 to test. 11k versus 3k = are the extra components, size and speed worth 8k?
If you can get double the production, over time that will more than make up for the extra cost. A diode laser is cheaper than a CO2 laser...and if you only want to do a few things a month, perfect :)
@@robxsiq7744 I don't do a lot, but can see me doing more with a machine easier to set up, and more repeatable. I am not making money with my woodworking and the market is getting congested with so many makers joining it. What I am looking for is a quality machine that will last, something easy to get a project lined up and started on, and something that I can use without being an engineer.
@@cliffart7398 I get that. really, I do. Thing is, the cheapy lasers typically have bad parts and very little support, so if your biggest fear is having to have a big learning curve, one of the cheaper ones is going to be very taxing on you. Aeon costs more, but they got a support line, community, videos, etc.
Message me? I can send you some info
So a year later what are you thoughts?? Also, do you know if you could cut 9mm baltic birch your 100w aeon?? I currently have 130w omtech and I am thinking of upgrading to aeon but not sure 100w is going to be enough for me.
I have a 40watt laser and i can cut through .25inch pine/birch with ease.
If youre just starting out, the omtech is the best value but you have to put the work into the upgrades. At the end of the day any machine can be super high quality if you put the time and effort in. It just depends on where you want to start from.
The tube on the Chinese cutter was used for a year, comparing it's cut speed versus a new tube is not fair.
It is if you you're doing a commercial for Aeon.
obviously. I said in the beginning it's not a completely fair comparison, but a comparison non-the-less. ones 100w an the other is 60w. just showing the differences between the two. of course the 100 is more capable...but is it worth it.
The Aeon is superior but if I am going to spend over $12 grand on a laser, it better come with a stand!
Grabbing popcorn
You'll need a bucket full!
nice video，by the way, do you interested in testing the Vigrue tools and screws? We offer free samples
Good effort, guys, but if you were going to do a comparison, you should be comparing two new units. This is more appels to oranges.
I would say get a Chinese laser same size and as the Aeon with auto focus and wattage and do another test.
ya program so it cuts in a circle not back in forth = a lot faster
how do those 2 lasers work with all that woodworking equipment in there? my shop is nowhere that clean.
Works just fine!
You really have to compare a 100w OMTech to compare speed, otherwise it is apples and oranges. Speed is proportional to laser power more than any other factor. A 100w OMTech is still going to cost less than half of what that Aeon costs. This is a good video to demonstrate the difference between 100w and 60w laser cutters though. You would probably get similar results regardless of brand.
I think the Yellow would cut a lot better with at least 30psi air pressure.
Probobly so. I’m using stock air units on both machines
So who is Batman and who is Robin? Liked and Subscribed.
Why not compare the Mira9 with the Trotec or Epilog? Because clearly they are in different categories, the same as the yellow, red, or blue Chinese models. I understand why the video comparison, because that’s why they gave you that unit, but it my opinion it would be most beneficial to show the Mira in action and show its power, accuracy, and finish.
Because I don’t have a trotec? I physically have the Mira 9 a the black and yellow. I did show the Mira in action, the whole last half is nothing but them both cutting.
Aeon US replaces the insides? Is there a before and after photo? Is this true? Proof?
Check out @thatmomwithalaser UA-cam, she toured the shop and you can see them doing it.
@@MyersWoodshop To clarify, they "rewire" the machines, correct? Beisdes that, maybe they replace some smaller components that don't meet codes/standards stateside. They mostly complete the PDI prior to shipment to the customer if I'm not mistaken.
I took a serious look at Aeon but couldn't get a clear detailed info on the "2 Year Warranty". Salesman admitted laser tube is only 1 year. LOL
Which aeon were you looking at? the tubes are warrantied through industry based on brand. the W1 and W2 have 15k hours/18 month warranties (for reference, thunders is 4k hours and 12 months). So..yeah..
i tried watching this, dude, but after 30 min i can't believe the claims you have on the sale omtech laser i have.. your complaints are easy to overcome with a few minutes of thought. and the solutions are free or almost free.
Would you say Epilogue is comparable to the Mira9?
Pricewise? better bang for your buck with the Mira. If you were to compare just tech, it runs closer to the big guys like epilog and trotec than say, a chinese or boss type thing. I personally hate Epilog's software though. Lightburn 4 life! heh
@@robxsiq7744 thank you
lightburn for life!
Epilog = Rolls Royce Mira9 = Nissan Altima Nothing wrong with an Altima but you cannot compare it to a Rolls! Epilog carries a Rolls price tag too!!!
The Mira isn't impressing me much with its cut speed on the hardboard. My 100w Haotian will perform the same cut at 13 mm/s at 30% power, I'm sure at 80% power I could double the speed. At a fraction of the cost.
I'm in the middle of your (excellent) video... and have to stop to write this: put extra aftermarket led-strips, it is SO cheap and available... and, even some pointed LED reflector (also, clean screen sometimes, you will see much better :-) ), that's why you have those China sockets with weak wires. AND, use pile, or sandpaper, and soften the sharp edges which hurts you frequently. All those mentioned is much cheaper and as easy or hard as thing you already did as aftermarket addons. Instead of dumb usage of accu screwdriver like you do, weld appropriate screw nut at the top and use screwdriver with regular attachment. Separate motor will be further upgrade, but not necessary..... Also, original Chinese vent..... will be quieter if blows less air like one you use now, so, maybe using a knob potentiometer is also good and cheaper idea.
I have a friend who can build a set of kitchen cupboards in 4 hours using his CNC. I can do the same kitchen in 6 hours. His equipment cost over 500,000. mine cost less than 20,000. I think unless you have a call for extreme production. I would go for the lesser machine as you would never recover your additional investment.
god, the circle bashed out with a hammer is not one pass, jeesus
looked like 1/8th ply
How about a $35,000 laser?
You compare a nice 90-watt laser to only a 50-watt Chinese one. Why not take 90 watts against 90 watts Chinese.
Because I only had these two in my physical possession
It turned out well.
Then why not mention that? Comparing bed sizes with a Mira 9 to a 60w laser is ridiculous. Apples and oranges. Upgrade the OMTech and make a true comparison.
01:14:39
Im in the market right now for a laser. Am considering the OMT AF2440; this laser is the most comparable to AEON Mira 9. The question i'm trying to answer (for myself), is a Mira 9 worth well over Double the OMT
The Aeon has been a dream compared to the omtech. It’s paid for itself in the first month. Is my link and contact them! Tell them I sent ya!
@@MyersWoodshop "Its paid for itself in first month"??? It was FREE, of Coarse it did lolol.
Meaning, if I purchased it, it have already made the profit from it within the first month that would have covered the cost of the unit.

Unfair comparison
Of course. One is 60w, one is 90w. But now you know how they compare.
Imagine comparing a 1920 model T to a 2023 F3500. I never would have thought the larger machine that takes up more space would have a larger work area as well. The Omtech has an autofocus version for not much more than the manual focus version, even if you get all the extras you still pay less than half for an even more powerful machine, 100w fully loaded is less than $6k. You literally took the most outdated machine omtech made and compared it to a state-of-the-art piece of technology the competition makes. I would like to see you justify your bias if you did a fair comparison.
Why can't aeon distributor tell aeon china to put in proper wiring for them? Makes no sense why they are not doing that and instead rewiring the damn machine.
well lets see, if you buy 3 omtech you would do more production than one mira 9 :)
Has anyone taken the OM controller appart , we received delivery of a £2,500 700*500 80w and it won’t work due to a battery warning.
Support says replace the battery with not much help finding it, the controller is all glued up which doesn’t help either.
The tube will "last a long time".....that sentence being subjective do you have an hour lifespan comparison?
No knife needed for the OMtech cut...
This should of been against the top omtech laser it's like a Mercedes against a yugo
I think its to compare, not a competition. So we understand how different they are, but since those are two brands I understand what you mean.
Or buy almost 4 omtech for the same money and have 4 machines running
Like saying why use a truck to haul when you can just use a fleet of bicycles.
@@robxsiq7744 or it’s like saying to a bunch of cyclists “I’ve been given this very expensive truck and I need to promote it... if you remortgage your home and maybe sell a kidney you could have one too” lol 😂
@@pjbaddict You can get what you want to get of course. As per life rules, you get what you pay for.
You can do nearly everything a Mira can do with a diode laser and a lot more time. So, get a diode laser if time isn't a consideration for you. For someone trying to make a business out of their machine, speed and support is important. For a hobbiest, not so much
@@robxsiq7744 having 4 machines churning out parts is going to make a bunch more cash than 1
@@klistada1 If you say so. Good luck with that.
Would you rather have to monitor 1 machine, or 4 though? thats 4 chillers, 4 machines, 4 air compressors, 4 15-20amp dedicated circuits, 4 times the electrical pull, 4 times the calibration tweaking, 4 times the maintenance, etc.
Sounds like your job quickly goes from shooting things out with a fast machine to just being a monitor monkey trying to work 4 machines.
And if the 1 machine is faster than the 4 machines combined, then your math is wrong.
But again, you do what you feel is right for you.
OMTech is a fun hobbiest machine for people who don't care much for speed of engraving
Lol the Chinese with the W
Complains about the Black and Yellow not having as much see through space, you have a laser and acrylic? If this was a deal breaker it would take all of 1 hour to design, cut and bend a replacement.
Complains about having a car and not a truck...1 hour of work to plasma cut and you can convert it to a truck. UGh. it's a comparison video, so i compared.
What's wrong with you guys..
Stop complaining....those are just tools.
It looks like a AEON marketing..ad.😂
Side by side comparisons are for nitpicking. If you feel its an aeon ad, maybe its because Aeon came out looking that much better?
11K vs 3K. 90W vs 60W. smh.. Kinda like testing a VW bug vs a Nitro Race car in a drag race. Why didn't you use the same rotary on both machines ? Come on man.Apple vs Apple not Apple vs Watermelon. Add to the fact your using a yr old OMTech vs a newer Aeon machine. The 11K machine has lid safety but not flame safety lol.. OM guy didn't say oh this is crappy plywood but the Aeon guys says crappy plywood when it didn't cut through the 1/2" plywood. This review smells bad..
It's the two lasers I had, so it's the two i showed side by side. Better than no comparison.
You're comparing a 90w (Aeon) machine to a 60w (OMTECH) machine.
The boys at MIRA have been smokin too much. Mira is a Chinese machine with very capitalistic American distributors. Cutting 1/2 inch ply with any 50 watt machine is a recipe for bad Lo Mein.
The level of bias in this video is ludicrously out of line. You definitely got paid off. I don't know what is so hard about giving an unbiased review. You set the omtech at half power and low speed and the already more powerful machine at near full power and had the audacity to compare the two based on (your settings) why not have comparable settings up to 100% on the Omtech? Because the results would be the same and all you would have to say is the obvious, the more powerful machine can cut thicker materials than the lower powered machine.
looks like omtech wins every time. not impressed at all with the aeon
Lol....There's no way a company can give you a free laser and you give an "honest" review while in the video and comment section saying "use our code and tell em we sent you." Yes...I'm sure it's a somewhat of a better laser but you literally had to knock the piece out when you ran it in one pass and then talked about how detailed the cut was. No, that was just a circle...but lets say you cut out a fine line detailed model at the same speed. You would've spent all that time only to break it trying to get that wood out
That was a terrible advertisement and really shows youtubers who sell their soul for money in a terrible light. Buy 3 of the cheaper ones, spend AT MOST $200 on motorised bed and height setting etc. and enjoy having the throughput of three machines vs one.
He has helped sell me on the Mira 9 I was on the fence Aeon is so superior
I'm not seeing $8k of value here.
Very scientific, one ran at 80% Power and 22mm/sec and the other at 50% Power at 11mm/sec and then you say the obscenely expensive one cuts twice as fast...
