Longer Ray5 20W — Cedar / Aromatic Cedar

⚙ Longer Ray5 20W Tested 2026-04
3/5
Notes
Very resinous — produces heavy smoke and significant residue. Has a distinctive aromatic smell when lasered. Engraves with rustic character. Not ideal for precision work but looks great for signs and rustic decor.
Tips
Strong ventilation and air assist are essential. Clean the lens after every session — resin fogs optics fast. Masking tape helps with smoke staining. Lower power to avoid runaway char in resin pockets.
