I’ve been dealing with Omtech for months now. I wrote a previous review but yet the saga continues. After my laser was stolen from the street (omtech did not require signature, driver left in road), omtech did offer to send me a new laser. I was very excited and was going to pull my review on this site. However when the laser got here, one of the belts was broken. I thought I needed a replacement so I contacted omtech who said the belt was out of stock and would need a month to send a new one. I was able to feed the broken belt through the machine using a plastic bit of garbage and was able to secure it back in place. I then used the laser for all of about 6 hours and one night I hear a loud pop coming from the machine. The laser stopped firing out of nowhere. Was using under totally normal circumstances. I contacted omtech and they said they would need me to test the capacitor to see if it’s the tube or the power supply that stopped working. They asked me to hook a resistor up to the machine to check the power supply (I am not an electrician. I am a crafter). I did not have the resistor. It was supposed to come with machine and did not. Had to wait another 5 days to get resistor. Luckily my husband vaguely knew how to test it, but first, omtech sent instructions for the wrong machine and then they sent us instructions that were upside down. After super sketchy handling of high voltage wires and reading from our upside down computer l, we found that it was the power supply to the laser that failed. We went to omtech website and found this replacement was out of stock too. I ordered this laser almost 4 months ago and still do not have a working laser. Its honestly comical how bad this is at this point.

Hello Mae! I am so sorry that you are continuing to have issues with your machine. As I stated in response to your previous review, I am trying to locate your order number with omtech.com but do not see anything under the name provided. Did you order directly via OMTech.com, or was it via Amazon or eBay? I have also sent you two separate requests directly. Please respond to the latest request. Respectfully, OMTech.com Customer Service Team
I love their marking spray product, but it is so expensive on Amazon. Buying it from their website is way cheaper, but delivery can take up to 3 weeks in my experience.

I’m buying my second OMTech laser now. My first machine has been running nonstop, and when the fan started making noise, the support team immediately sent me a replacement completely free of charge. They even included clear instructions on how to install it. The customer service is outstanding. My business is growing, and I’m confident OMTech is the right equipment supplier for me.
The service has been great so far. I have 3 omtech lasers so far. I have an 30w split fiber,55wpolar plus, and an 80w 2028AF. I enjoy working with all of them, however, I do have some recommendations.
I wish the polar plus had a red dot on the laser so you could see the exact location of the laser. Also, I do wish it was more portable, which is what I was looking for.
The 80w laser works great, however it is a little cumbersome to switch over to the rotary attachment, because you can't see the plug that you need to plug into. I just wish it was set up like your polar plus is for rotary work.
One more suggestion. It would be great if you had a 40w IR laser with a conveyor and pass through in your product line.. Please do not take my suggestions as negative comments, it is meant for your information to improve your products.
Recently purchased the AF2820-60 and I am absolutely in love with this machine. The fine details that this machine can cut is just amazing and mind blowing.
We had an issue with the autofocus. Phone support was great. I’m pretty handy, so they sent me the replacement part promptly with instructions. The laser now works like a champ.
The lasers I purchased from OMTech have worked great! There have been a few minor issues, but I have been able to figure them out quickly. Almost always I have found it is something that I have done wrong.
The only negative feedback I have is the loyalty program. It has said for over a year “Coming soon”. We are by staff they do not know anything about when or what it will be. The descriptions of the loyalty program sound great, but when? Very frustrating
Ran into a couple little issues involved in a crack tube. But the staff an omtech, pulled through nicely after using the machine. It's a very smooth operation.
I'm glad I made the choice. I just wish the problems that arrived weren't there. So far I would recommend
Bought the machine 1 year ago. Have only been able to use it a very few times. Can NEVER get the focus correct. Gave up and bought 3 new X-Tool lasers instead. They all have auto focus. Now, Omtech comes out with the very same machine as the one I purchased with autofocus. I'm stuck with a dead rock.

This was an important part we needed for a machine. Had we known Omtech used Evri before we placed the order we would never had ordered from you. We're a small business and your truly shocking service and resulted in us having to cancel a number of orders. We had an urgent large order that needs to be dispatched by Friday 13th. Your support team were aware of this and agreed to send a replacement out if my part hadn't arrived by Tuesday 10th. True to their word Tuesday came and they arranged for a new order to be raised. Great we thought they'll send it next day delivery as they know we urgently need the part. Oh no they've dispatched it via Yodel who are worse than Evri who say that delivery normally takes 3-7 days, although there may be occasional delays due to the carrier's high volume of orders.
My question to Omtech is simple, if you value your reputation and value your customers why do you use two of the worse courier services in the UK?
We're planning on buying two new laser machines next month when we move into new premises, Omtech were at the top of our list. Sadly now you not even being considered. If you cut costs on courier services, what else are you cutting costs on. The money you spend on marketing your products has been let down by your delivery.

Hello Steve, We truly apologies for your experience. We have requested more information from you so we can review your order and further assistance. Thank you Omtechlaser Customer Service.
So what made me choose your product is the company i used to work for had a OmTech pro 2440 which was having issues i called describe the problems and i wasn't even the person that purchased the product but tech support went above and beyond to help me having no previous laser experience needless to say i felt overwhelmed but the customer support was amazing so when it was time to purchase a laser i knew which company had won my business and now i can't wait to upgrade and get a bigger format thank you for an amazing product and amazing service
Total trash Company. After having the machine for a month it never worked a day. Tech support have no clue about fixing the issue. The machine did not come with any set up instructions or videos (not even on YouTube or their site). I ordered a machine with a powered z axis which it came without and when the laser was turned on it would shut down the machine. I scheduled a zoom meeting to point out the issue and after 10 mins after the meeting was to start is when the tech came on to say we will send you a new machine, to which I declined. After asking for a return I was told it would be picked up on Monday, so I took the day off this is now Thursday. Todays email is saying I need to provide a forklift to get it on the truck.

I’m very new to the laser community. Honestly had zero idea on how to operate or do anything but within 2 days I was cutting test designs for my new shop. A week later now I feel like a laser operator now. It was super easy to learn. Once you stumble across something you adjust it once and then you got it. I didn’t read the manual. I just watched youtube videos and chatgpt will be your bestfriend getting thru the bumps in the road. Shipping was also amazing. It was very secured. If you dont think the laser will fit in your house, the legs detach making it be able to fit thru anything doorway. High recommend using a furniture dolly to move thru your house! All in all its been a great experience from ordering to shipping to setup to operating.
