Why the MA1 Series

Easy to Learn

Run it with a 7″ touchscreen and built-in presets for every material and thickness. Both seasoned pros and first-timers are laying quality beads fast.

The Industry's Lightest Torch

At just 680 g (1.5 lb), the MA1 torch is built for long days with less hand fatigue. A built-in wobble function delivers weld widths up to 4.0 mm for smooth, even seams.

Weld More Materials

Stainless, galvanized, mild steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, and titanium — up to 6.5 mm. Low heat input means minimal warping and distortion on your parts.

Cleaner Welds, Less Rework

The MA1 lays down strong, good-looking seams that typically need little to no post-weld cleanup, saving you a step and improving the finished product.

Up to 80% Energy Savings

Single-mode fiber technology concentrates energy for high-speed welding without drawing excessive power.

Air-Cooled, No Chiller

The fiber laser system is air-cooled, so there’s no external chiller to buy, plumb, or maintain.

FAQs

Do I need special training to use a laser welder?
No. The MA1 is built to be easy to learn — a 7″ touchscreen and built-in presets get most operators producing clean welds quickly, whether or not they have welding experience. Call us and we’ll walk you through it.
Does the MA1 need an external chiller or special hookups?
No external chiller — the fiber laser is air-cooled. We’ll go over power requirements for your shop when you call.
Is laser welding safe? What protection do I need?
Yes, when operated correctly. You’ll want proper laser safety glasses, and we recommend gloves, long sleeves, and work boots. Many shops use laser safety curtains or a dedicated space. We stock the safety gear and can advise on a setup that fits your shop and local requirements.

As someone getting back into welding in my home garage, after 15 years away, I needed a fair bit of guidance on equipment maintenance and modern PPE. Not being a pro welder, I wasn't sure how I would be treated, as they had a steady flow customers that seemed to be regulars. They had the staff to get the pros what the needed, and back out on the job, while also being able to help me get the information I needed. They were absolutely AMAZING! The staff was very knowledgeable, helping me understand what gear I might want to replace, educating me on some of the improvements in welding helmets over the last 20 years. They weren't pushy at all, and were friendly, helping me understand options, treating me like a valued customer, even though I wasn't a pro. Picked up some nice (but not too expensive) welding helmets for my son and me, as well as several other small items get my welding in peak performance. This is the place to go for welding needs! Edit: Fantastic service after the sale. Had some trouble with some of the items from a prior visit, not performing properly. They looked them over to be sure it wasn't user error, and we're happy to swap them or upgrade me. These guys are outstanding!
