The differences that matter
- Rated power 10 W against 33 W; the S30 Ultra states cuts up to 15 mm of plywood and acrylic (manufacturer's values) → cutting real thickness is S30 Ultra territory
- Bed 410 × 400 against 590 × 595 mm → a 50 cm panel is worked whole only on the S30 Ultra
- Connection: USB only on the S10, USB or Bluetooth on the S30 Ultra → cable-free only on the S30 Ultra
Which one to choose
Choose S10 if…
you engrave wood, leather or cardboard on objects up to 40 cm and want to stay around €470. It connects by USB only and doesn't run offline from an SD card, so the computer stays connected for the whole engraving.
Choose S30 Ultra 33W if…
you cut plywood or acrylic and work on large panels. It costs about €1,300 and measures 80 × 84 × 22 cm: it needs a dedicated bench.
