A datasheet cannot tell you whether a machine handles the work your bench actually sees. Send the job — as photos, as a sample, or over a live video call — and we will weld it on the model we would recommend for you, then show you the result and the reasoning.
Three routes, depending on how far along the decision is and whether the piece can leave your bench.
Nothing leaves your shop. Good for narrowing a shortlist before you commit to sending anything.
The only route that answers the question properly, because the metal in your hand is the metal we weld.
Watch the weld happen and ask about the settings while the operator is on the machine.
Bring the job you send out most often. Each of these links to the page that covers it in full.
Whether the joint welded cleanly, where it was marginal, and what we would change on a second attempt.
The same three views on every job, so you are judging the finish rather than a marketing photograph.
Which controls your work leans on — spot size, pulse width, low-energy steadiness, optics, filler handling.
One recommendation from the four in the range, and why it rather than the one above or below it.
Filler wire, shielding gas and electrodes that go with the work, so the running cost is not a surprise.
Asked for, not attached automatically. The test result stands on its own if you are still comparing.
Four steps. Step two is where everything about cost, shipping, size and timing is agreed — before anything is sent.
Tell us the alloy, the repair and how much of it your bench sees in a month. Photos help at this stage.
We come back with what we can test, how to send it, who covers what, and how long it should take. Nothing moves until this is settled.
We weld the job on the model we would recommend, and record the before, weld area and after views.
You get the result, the assessment and a named model — and the piece back if you sent one.
A useful sample looks like the work you actually do. These are technical guidelines — the specifics for your request are settled at the confirm step.
What a completed test looks like, on three different metals. Sample → test area → result → the model it points to.
A heavier section at moderate spot size. Filler handling matters more here than optics.
View model
Silver carries heat away and the repair has to sit inside the engraving. Optics and a small spot decide it.
View model
Platinum needs real energy in a tiny spot and twenty near-identical pulses. Repeatability is the deciding control.
View modelThese three are worked examples showing what a completed test contains, photographed at the bench. Your own result comes back on your own piece.
How a result turns into a model. This is the reasoning we send with your test, written out in advance.
| What the test shows | What that points to | Usual recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Clean joint at moderate spot size, filler doing the work | Sizing and shank work rather than fine detail. Spot size is not the constraint. | MW-DW200 — Affordable Jewelry Laser Welder |
| Needed energy but also needed control at the tip | Mixed repair work, platinum among it, several joints a day rather than several a week. | M3 — 3-in-1 Jewelry Laser Welder |
| Failed on spot size or on what the operator could resolve | Chain, filigree or close-to-stone work. Optics decide the job before energy does. | NOVA — Stylish Jewelry Laser Welder |
| Fine individually, but the volume is the problem | Batch work across shifts, where duty cycle and cooling decide throughput. | QCW Series — Continuous-Duty Jewelry Laser Welder |
| Marginal on the sample we were sent | Worth a second test on a different section before anyone recommends anything. | Another test, not a model |
The test weld itself is free. Everything around it is agreed with you in writing at the confirm step, because it depends on where you are and what you send — so here is exactly what gets settled before anything is posted.
Both directions are confirmed before you send — outbound to us and the return to you are agreed separately, not assumed.
We confirm the number of pieces and the size we can take for your request rather than quoting a blanket limit here.
Turnaround depends on the method, the queue and the post between us. You get a timeframe at confirmation, not a slogan.
Anything on the confirm-first list above is discussed before it travels. If we cannot do it, we say so at that point.
Customs, duties and insurance on international shipments are part of the same confirmation. We would rather answer these before a package moves than apologise for them afterwards.
The questions worth answering before you send anything.
Three short steps. We reply with what we can test and what it involves before anything is sent.
Send the job your bench sends out most. We will weld it, show you the three views, and name the model that fits it.
