OneLaser Cobra™ 8 - Workshop Essential Laser Engraver/Cutter (90W Glass)
The OneLaser Cobra™ 8 Workshop Essential Laser Engraver/Cutter brings professional-grade CO₂ laser performance to small businesses, makerspaces, and serious hobbyists ready to scale their production. Powered by a 90W glass tube and a high-performance DSP-based control system, the Cobra 8 reaches engraving speeds up to 1,200 mm/s with 2G acceleration — making it one of the fastest glass-tube laser machines in its class. Intelligent path optimization allows it to run 2–3 times more efficiently than comparable G-code machines, so complex engraving and cutting jobs that once took 30 minutes can be finished in as little as 10–15. Even at top speed, the Cobra 8 holds razor-sharp detail with up to 1,000 DPI engraving resolution across its generous 31.50" x 19.69" work area.
Built for accuracy and repeatability, the Cobra 8 pairs an aerospace-grade extruded aluminum gantry with a high-precision ball-screw Z-axis delivering ±0.01 mm repeat positioning accuracy, keeping focal height perfectly consistent from the first job to the thousandth.
Everyday operation is refreshingly simple: one-touch autofocus sets the ideal focal distance automatically, red-dot positioning shows exactly where the beam will fire, the patented MagSwitch™ lens holder enables tool-free lens changes, and a 16MP high-resolution camera makes previewing and aligning designs effortless. A built-in Smart Dual Air-Assist system automatically switches between low airflow for clean, detailed engraving and high airflow for faster, safer cutting — no manual adjustment required.
The Cobra 8 is engineered to grow with your workflow. A front-to-rear pass-through door accommodates extra-long materials up to 45 mm thick, breaking through conventional size limits, while an optional plug-and-play 3W/5W IR module expands capability beyond CO₂ to metal engraving — unlocking over 300 material possibilities from wood, acrylic, leather, and glass to stainless steel and aluminum. Fully compatible with LightBurn, RDWorks, and other popular software platforms, and equipped with a flush-mounted GT5c full touch screen panel, built-in temperature sensing, and intelligent system monitoring, the Cobra 8 delivers the speed, precision, and reliability of an industrial machine in a workshop-friendly footprint.

OneLaser Cobra™ 8 Features
-
Blazing 1,200 mm/s Engraving Speed with 2G Acceleration: Finish jobs in a fraction of the time — the Cobra 8's high-power motion system outpaces most glass-tube machines on the market, so a 30-minute project can wrap up in as little as 10–15 minutes.
-
DSP Control for Real-World Efficiency: Intelligent path optimization runs 2–3 times more efficiently than G-code machines, and you'll feel the difference most on complex designs and detailed engraving where every wasted movement adds up.
-
Fine Detail at Full Speed: Up to 1,000 DPI engraving resolution and a minimum engraving size of just 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm mean crisp lettering, sharp photo engraving, and clean edges even when you're running at maximum velocity.
-
Spacious 31.50" x 19.69" Work Area with Pass-Through Capability: Tackle large signage, batch production layouts, and oversized panels — and when a project runs longer than the bed, the front-to-rear pass-through door lets you feed extra-long material straight through.
-
Set-and-Forget Precision: One-touch autofocus dials in the perfect focal distance every time, red-dot positioning shows you exactly where the beam will land, and the patented MagSwitch™ holder makes lens swaps completely tool-free.
-
16MP Camera for Perfect Placement: Preview and align your design directly on the material before you fire the laser — ideal for one-shot items like tumblers, gifts, and customer-supplied pieces where there's no room for error.
-
