Steve, Thank you for the great overview. I’m currently reviewing the LP5 as far as the power on/off I thought you had to unplug to turn it off and plug it in to turn it on. What I found was if you press and hold the pause button on top of the unit it will turn the machine on. Press and hold again to turn it off. I was surprised this wasn’t anywhere in the user manual, but it works for me. Keep up the good work!
This used a depth map greyscale image. I'm going to work on a video showing the process using their software soon as it's one of the things people are most curious about. Thanks for watching!
I just checked the power adaptor and it's listed as 100-240v input 50/60hz 2.5A max. So assuming you get the correct input cable for the power brick, it uses a typical PC power supply cable, then it would likely work. I do not see a voltage input switch on the power brick so you may want to double check this with LaserPecker to see if it is swappable between 110 and 220v without any other modifications.
The portability of this one over the F1 Ultra is a big difference. While you can move the F1, it's not exactly something I'd want to do often. This one is much more suited for that.
It is but they have not released the Lightburn Device configuration for it yet. I've been talking with them about it and once they have it ready for release, I'm looking forward to testing it with LightBurn.
I have this LP5, Sometimes it works well, but other times it just doesn’t cut deep enough or leaves rough edges, making my projects look unprofessional. Considering how much I spent on the LP5, I expected a better experience. Honestly, I feel like I invested that money in a more reliable model or even a different engraving method altogether.
My experience with the LP5 and other 20w fiber lasers is that while they can deep engrave and do some cutting, they are really geared towards light engravings.
Great review. I'm actually a noob when it comes to this. I ordered the LP5 because I've always wanted to be able to engrave my own stuff. Are you open to giving me an hour "tutorial for noobs" when I receive it? Of course I would hire you hourly. Please message me if interested. Thanks!, J.J.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to check that out as plugging and un-plugging it just seems like it's asking for that connector to wear out.
Thanks Steve! Very interesting, would love getting one for shows someday!😊
Another nice informative review. Thank you.
Great review ! tks
Good review thanks. Interesting little machine
Inside ring engravin also signet tops
Great review, with the grayscale metal round, did you use a height map op depth map grayscale image?
This used a depth map greyscale image. I'm going to work on a video showing the process using their software soon as it's one of the things people are most curious about. Thanks for watching!
Nice job on the review! Much nicer laser and support compared to the xFool.
does the laserpecker 5 have a roller (trolley) like the LaserPecker 2 has?
It does not, they have the sliding tray to handle some longer material but not the rollers.
Is it dual voltage? I need something on 110v and 220v. Knowing I have to change the cable/power supply.

@@Vintauri thanks. I hope to pick one of these up soon. It will be my first machine.
Thanks, this one would be easier to take to a Farmers Market than the Ultra F1. You think?

@@cubansli3099 i would say just use the common Xtool F1 for portability and shows.
May I ask you what makes me buy 5 rather than 4 even though it's pretty good I mean 4
@@Bodari23 if you want to do the deeper etching you'll need the power of the LP5.
Is it compatible with lightburn?
It is but they have not released the Lightburn Device configuration for it yet. I've been talking with them about it and once they have it ready for release, I'm looking forward to testing it with LightBurn.
