Choosing the Right CO₂ Laser Workbed Size for Your Projects

When buying a CO₂ laser machine, one of the most important choices you'll make is the bed size. It affects what materials you can work with, how many pieces you can process at once, and how efficiently your workflow runs. At Rabbit Laser USA, we offer three standard CO₂ laser workbed sizes—600×400 mm, 900×600 mm, and 1300×900 mm—all built into solid, cabinet-style machines ready for real shop use.


We also provide delivery and on-site installation, so you’re never left figuring it out on your own.


600×400 mm (23.6" × 15.7")
Compact and Capable

Great for:

  • Custom tumblers (rotary compatible)
  • Small signage, ornaments, tags, and engraved gifts
  • Schools, home-based businesses, and tight workspaces
  • Pre-cut materials like 12" × 20" and 12" × 24" blanks

Why It Works:


The 600×400 mm bed is our most compact option, but still features professional-grade performance. Built into a durable cabinet, this machine is ideal for shops with space limitations that still want production-grade results.

900×600 mm (35.4" × 23.6")
Our Most Popular Size

Great for:

  • Medium signage, layered art, and acrylic sheets
  • Batch engraving tumblers, plaques, and tags
  • Nested cutting on 18" × 24" or 24" × 36" material
  • Users upgrading from smaller hobby systems

Why It Works:


This is our best-selling size for a reason—it offers the best mix of capability and shop friendliness. It fits through most doorways, supports rotary attachments, and has enough space for more serious production without the footprint of an industrial giant.

1300×900 mm (51.1" × 35.4")
Built for Production


Great for:

  • Oversized signage, templates, and commercial jobs
  • Tiling or pass-through work with 4' × 8' sheets
  • Large acrylic, wood, and MDF projects
  • High-volume production workflows

Why It Works:


The 1300×900 mm workbed is for shops that want to go big—and stay efficient. With fewer repositionings and the ability to tile full 4' × 8' sheets, you’ll reduce setup time and maximize output. The SD version features a separable cabinet for tight access points; the DL version offers a larger air assist system.

Rotary Compatibility – All Sizes Supported

Every CO₂ laser machine from Rabbit Laser USA can be paired with a rotary attachment. No matter the bed size, you'll be able to engrave cylindrical objects like tumblers, wine bottles, mugs, and more. Just keep an eye on Z-height clearance when planning larger rotaries.

Material Fit Tips


  • 600×400 mm – Perfect for 12" × 20" and 12" × 24" blanks
  • 900×600 mm – Easily handles 18" × 24" and 24" × 36" sheets
  • 1300×900 mm – Ideal for 36" × 48" materials and 4' × 8' tiling setups


Shop Space and Fitment Notes


All machines come with full cabinet enclosures—no desktop or benchtop models.


  • 600×400 and 900×600 fit through most standard doorways
  • 1300×900 may require an SD version (split cabinet) for tighter entryways


We can help you determine which version best fits your space—and our team will handle delivery, setup, and installation.


Pro Tip: Future-Proof Your Workflow


If you're stuck between two bed sizes, we recommend choosing the larger option. Many customers outgrow their machine faster than expected once orders ramp up or more project types come in.


Common Questions About Laser Bed Sizes

  • Can I engrave large signs on the 600×400 mm machine?

    Yes, with tiling or split designs—but it’s more efficient to use the 900×600 or 1300×900 for that type of work.

  • Does the size of the bed affect laser power?

    No—cutting and engraving power comes from the laser tube wattage, not the bed size. All machines are available with calibrated power configurations.

  • Can I upgrade the bed size later?

    Bed size is fixed to the machine model, so it’s best to choose based on future needs as well as current ones.

Match the Machine to Your Mission


  • Compact shop or small product focus? Choose the 600×400.
  • Want flexibility and scalable production? Go with the 900×600.
  • Doing oversized or high-volume jobs? Step into the 1300×900.


Every Rabbit Laser USA CO₂ machine is built for serious results—calibrated for precision, constructed for longevity, and backed by support you can trust.
