What kind of material is the best choice for a oscillating cutting machine compared with laser machine?

    Many people know the advantages of laser machine and oscillating machine , but it seems that the choice is still entangled. “Laser machine can also cut and the price is relatively cheap, why do I choose oscillating cutting machine?”

    The first thing we need to know is “what kind of cutting effect do you want achieved ? ”

    “I got problem with cutting leather as the surface of leather after cut is dirty ?”

    This is a question a client asked me when I was doing development. The first reaction was "does he use a laser cutter". It is conceivable that the customer use his machine and the answer was revealed.

    Oscillating cutting machine is suitable for flexible materials such as textile, cloth, leather, foam, sponge, PVC... etc. Laser cutting machine is mainly used for cutting wood, MDF, metal, plastic, acrylic..etc.

    Now let's compare the different aspects!

    Maintenance:

    After the laser machine is used for a long time, the laser head will heat up, water cooling is required, and the maintenance times will be more frequent.

Yuchon's cutting machine : Basically, you only need to do regular maintenance on the rack guide and rail, the maintenance time is about once every 3-4 months.

    Material:

    The laser is cut with high temperature, so the material will discolor or even catch fire.

    The finished product cut with the oscillating knife is clean and tidy, with smooth edges.

    Health:

    Laser machine during the cutting process is that it has a strong smell and is not environmentally friendly. For example, the leather will release emits pure chlorine gas when cut!

    For oscillating cutting machine -- it’s “ healthy “ machine.

    Therefore, we must not only choose the machine that can cut but also choose the most suitable cutting machine, which can be selected without damaging the material.
