TL;DR
Gweike G6 Split 50W is the 50W SKU on the Gweike gweike g6 split line. Gweike G6 Split is a larger fiber marking platform with separate laser source cabinet: common format for small production. Verify optical power on the listing: do not assume combined-watt marketing.

What makes this machine stand out
Hardware and workflow features worth understanding before you buy : not just wattage on a label.
Compatible with the 300 × 300 mm lens
Gweike lists its 11.8 in (300 mm) replacement lens for the G6 50W and above. Useful for large plaques, panels and fixture plates holding many parts in one job.
Middle ground for mixed work
Fast enough for deeper logos and thin cut-outs, at about $1,000 less than the next tier. A sensible choice when marking is the daily job and depth is occasional.
Our verdict
Ideal if you
Gweike G6 Split 50W fits shops that mark stainless, aluminum, and tools daily without a CO₂ bay. A solid bench option for jewelry, tags, and small batches.
Skip if you
Skip if wood, leather, or cast acrylic pay your bills. Deep metal cutting and large industrial panels often need more fiber headroom (70W or 100W) or a different machine class.
Pros
- Gives access to Gweike's 300 × 300 mm lens for large plates and batches
- Faster than the 30W in our stainless benchmark: about 3–8 min vs 4–11 min for a filled 10 × 10 cm logo
- In stock in every lift option in October 2026, from $3,899
Cons
- Starts about $1,500 above the 30W's $2,399 base price
- Electric lift with autofocus adds up to $500 to the $3,899 base
- Still Q-switched: colour marking needs the G6 Split MOPA line instead

Pro tips
Batch similar jobs to reduce setup. Use rotary only when quotes include cylinder work: it slows flat-stock days.

Common questions
How much faster is the G6 Split 50W than the 30W?
In our benchmark, a filled 10 × 10 cm logo on stainless steel takes about 3–8 minutes on the 50W, against 4–11 on the 30W. The gap widens on deep engraving and multi-pass cut-outs, where average power matters most. Gweike lists the same 7,000 mm/s line speed for every G6 Split tier, so light surface marks gain little.
Which lenses fit the G6 Split 50W?
It ships with a 175 × 175 mm (6.9 in) lens. Gweike sells 110, 150, 200 and 300 mm replacement lenses at $199 each, and lists the 300 × 300 mm lens for the 50W and above. A larger field spreads the same power over a bigger spot, so deep work slows down with the 300 mm lens.
50W or 70W G6 Split: which suits me?
The 50W starts at $3,899 with manual lift on Gweike's US store (October 2026); the 70W starts at $4,899, about $1,000 more. Choose the 50W for a mix of marking and occasional deep work. The 70W makes sense when deep engraving or cut-outs are a daily task and shorter cycles translate into money.

Monport · Fiber · $2,440 – $2,690
Monport GT 30W brings split-cabinet fiber marking with autofocus: useful for varying part heights. Strong alternative to Gweike G6 in the same class.
Sculpfun · Fiber · $1,499
The Sculpfun G20 is a 20W 1064 nm fiber galvo on an open stand, launched in August 2026. It marks and engraves stainless, aluminium, brass, gold and titanium over a 150 × 150 mm field, with a motorized Z column, dual red-dot focusing and Wi-Fi. Sculpfun claims 10,000 mm/s, a 0.01 mm spot, engraving up to 1.5 mm deep and colour marking on stainless and titanium. No independent review yet; the open frame means you handle 1064 nm safety yourself.
