The GFHQ CORE CNC Plate Fiber Laser pairs a fully welded heavy-wall steel frame with a servo drive system as standard for the speed and accuracy laser cutting demands. A downdraft table and a pre-programmed PC kit are included. It's designed and built by Garage Fab HQ, and every machine is built to order with a 10–12 week lead time.
Laser Power
- 1.5 kW standard
- 2 kW upgrade available
Who It's For
- Fabrication shops that want clean, precise sheet cuts
- Shops adding laser to work alongside plasma
- Businesses planning to grow into PRO later
You don't need CNC experience. Some basic CAD knowledge helps, and the GFHQ Design Lab makes it easy to learn.
Arrives Fully Built
- We build the whole machine. Garage Fab HQ fully builds, assembles and tests every CORE machine before it ships or you pick it up. Lead time is 10–12 weeks.
- You install it and start cutting. It may need some adjustments and tuning after installation, but you're up and running much quicker than with a kit.
Frame
- Fully welded frame of 11-gauge rectangular steel tubing
- Flat-top table design, so you can load material from any direction
- Heavy-duty adjustable caster wheels, so you can move it and then level it where you need it
Motion
- Servo drive system standard
- X and Y: rack and pinion direct drive on our roller bearing drive, with gear reduction for added performance
- Z: ball screw assembly for accurate, repeatable height control
Downdraft Table Standard
- Pulls smoke and fumes down and away from the work and the operator
Computer Included
Comes standard with a pre-programmed PC kit: mini PC, monitor, keyboard and mouse, set up and ready to run.
Sizes
Available in 6 sizes: 4' x 4', 4' x 8', 4' x 10', 5' x 5', 5' x 10' and 6' x 12'.
Warranty
1 year on the chassis and mechanical parts, and 1 year on electronics and motors. Extended coverage is available: 2 years for $699.99 or 3 years for $899.99, added from this page. The laser source and other bought-in parts carry their maker's own warranty: register and make any claims directly with the maker. Full warranty details

Freight, Hotshot or Free Pickup
CORE machines have welded frames, so they aren't crated. We prep each machine for transport and send it by freight or a hotshot delivery service from our closest HQ (West Coast HQ in Las Vegas, NV or East Coast HQ in Clarksville, TN), or you can pick it up free at either HQ. Pick it up free and pay in full online, or buy the machine now and we invoice freight or hotshot separately before it ships. Want shipping in one purchase?
