This Laser Cuts Metal?! GWeike Cloud M Core First Look
Is the Gweike Cloud M Core the ultimate all-in-one machine for growing craft businesses, or is it too much to handle? Today, we are answering one major question: Is this hybrid fiber and CO2 laser actually useful for real makers and small businesses looking to scale?

The Gweike Cloud M Core claims to blur the line between maker and manufacturer by packing a 400W Fiber Laser and an 80W CO2 Laser into a single machine with a 16" x 28" cut area. We put it to the test on everything from 1/4" MDF and clear acrylic to thick metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and even a massive 5mm piece of carbon steel.
The results blew us away, but there are a few massive hidden requirements you MUST know before buying—especially regarding the heavy-duty air compressor requirements (8.5 CFM at 130 PSI) and industrial gas tank setups (learn from our 100 lb Tahoe mistake!).
If you want to transition your laser business from low-margin wood items to high-perceived-value metal front porch decor, custom jewelry blanks, or commercial UV-printed signs, this might be the machine that changes your entire business workflow.
🔥 The Gweike Cloud M Core Kickstarter is LIVE NOW (May 26, 2026)! For the next 45 days, you can lock in the lowest price of $4,699 with a $199 refundable deposit.
