FAQ

Why I went from the Glowforge to thunder?

I went from the Glowforge to thunder nova51/100. Haven’t turned my Glowforge on since! No issues cutting through wood. Well, except for user error Also haven’t used any masking! Night and day difference!

How Thunder Boost you business

I was scared about it initially, but it’s super easy and incredibly accurate. And so, so fast compared to GF. A sign that would take me 40 minutes to cut on GF takes about 4.5 minutes including the lining up process

How about after-sales service?

My experience from the first inquiry to present day has been nothing less than stellar with this company. Emails and social media inquiries as well as phone calls have been answered in a very short time. A frantic call to them on a Sunday afternoon was returned within minutes. Wow. Each and every person we have been in touch with both here and overseas, has provided exceptional customer service, information, tutorials and troubleshooting options.

It's easy to use thunder laser cutter?

Just got my Thunder after a Gloforge and there is no comparison. The GF was super plug and play which was nice, but honestly the Thunder is super easy to use. Not to mention a gazillion times more accurate, faster, more reliable, and more flexible on what you can make/do

I’m not going to bad mouth Golowforge.But the difference is amazing!

I’m on week one of transitioning from a Pro to a 35-100. The difference is amazing! I’m not going to bad mouth GF, because it did help me get my business on the map in my area, but this Thunder is phenomenal. I definitely had some moments of I can’t do this when setting it up, BUT I kept reminding myself I couldn’t work the GF at the beginning either. Customer service has been amazing!
