Regretfully Just Add Sharks Ltd has closed at the end of September 2017. Over the last year Just Add Sharks Ltd has faced challenges with the vanillabox crowdfunded Open Source laser cutter project and with leads times from their suppliers. Demand for low cost laser cutters has outstriped the supply. Lack of timely supply causes delays and disappointments to customers. This is further exasperated by the drop and fluctuating value of pounds sterling. Just Add Sharks Ltd will honour all customers manufacturers warranties.
Customers should continue to email their requests for technical support, software support, spare parts and warranty enquiries to info@justaddsharks.co.uk or using the contact form below.

Key Features
- 600mm x 400mm cutting area
- The laser cutting area holds a sheet of A2 card.
- 1,360mm x 880mm x 1,070mm machine size
- The Greyfin will fit through double doors and is a good compact size. Connectors for air assistance and water cooling are to the right side of the machine with extraction at the rear.
- 60W laser tube
- The 1200mm long laser tube produces a peak output of 80W and 60W of continuous cutting. It will typically cut through 3mm birch laser ply at 20mm/s. The tube should last for around 1200 hours and comes with a 3 month warranty.
- Lasercut 5.3 Controller
- The laser uses the Lasercut software package from Leetro automation. It is capable of importing dxf files such as those created by 2D design and Adobe Illustrator.
- 100mW Red dot alignment
- The red visible laser dot is particularly helpful if you want to squeeze large items onto the sheet material or to realign the work after removing it from the laser cutter.
- Free Standing
- The Greyfin A2 Laser Cutter stands on it's own putting the working area of the machine at a sensible height. The lockable wheels allow you to move the Whitetooth for easy access behind the machine for maintenance. It has 4 adjustable height feet which maybe used to compensate for floor level or to adjust the working area height.
- Powerful extraction
- Vaporised material can leave significant staining on the work piece, the extractor fan draws the smoke out of the machine and away from the work in progress. All our machines come complete with long flexible tubes and powerful extraction fans.
- Air assisted cutting
- A 120 L/Min compressor pumps air through a pipe right up to the cutting head. Air assist improves the cutting effectiveness and protects the optics from smoke damage.
- Honeycomb bed
- This is a closely packed framework of end-on metal sheets. The dense arrangements supports all the work while cutting small items, the end on style reduces the number of laser reflections that may mark the underside of your work. They are also useful when sheet materials need to be held flat with magnets.
- Knife bed
- Is made of vertical slats which support large pieces of work during cutting, the vertical arrangement limits the number of laser reflections that burn the underside of the work.
- LED illumination
- A row of LED’s under the X-axis provides bright and even illumination of the work piece during cutting.
