Brand New AtomStack Hurricane CO2 Laser Cutter Review - Better than the xTool P2?

I am going to review a completely new laser cutter from Atomstack – the Atomstack Hurricane. It is a 55W CO2 laser cutter that is a direct competitor to Glowforge, GweikeCloud and the xTool P2, which I have tested previously. In this article I will put the Atomstack Hurricane to the test to see how well it performs in a series of practical tests, engraving and laser cutting various materials ranging from wood, plastic to aluminum, and compare the results to its competitors that I tested previously.

The Atomstack Hurricane is the first CO2 laser engraver from Atomstack. The company has matured and has stepped up from diode laser engravers like the ones we have tested previously. It is a 55W CO2 laser cutter that features auto-focusing, camera positioning, red dot preview and precise mechanics. It also supports a lot of upgrades and accessories like the air purifier that extracts all the fumes, Atomstack R1 Pro rotary attachment for engraving cylinders, automatic fire extinguishing system for automatic fire suppression, slat bed upgrade (default bed is honeycomb), machine risers for engraving taller objects and you can even upgrade the Hurricane with the conveyor feeder system, that expands the stock working area of 500*300mm (19.7"*11.8") to a whopping 500*800mm(19.7"*31.5")!
