A handheld fiber laser welder joins metal with a focused beam instead of an arc, and the machines listed here also cut thin metal and clean off rust, paint and oxide. What's on this page is sold by Arccaptain on its own US store, arccaptain.com. The name, photo and price are Arccaptain's, taken from Arccaptain's product feed or product page (last checked October 23, 2026), and the specs are as Arccaptain lists them; items that are out of stock are left off.

A laser welder is a high-power laser tool, not a desktop engraver. Before buying, check the laser class, the eyewear it calls for and the power supply it needs in the maker's manual; our laser safety guide covers what the laser class tells you. For thin-sheet cutting with an engraver instead, see Can a laser engraver cut sheet metal? For steel plate, compare a plasma cutter.
