Released September 2026
TL;DR
The Reno 65 relaunched in September 2026 with a built-in 3 L water tank, a 600 × 400 mm bed, a 640 × 7 mm front pass-through, 100 mm of Z travel and magnetic assisted focus. One 65W glass tube, three versions: Basic ($1,599.99, 500 mm/s, USB and LightBurn only), Pro ($2,249.99, 800 mm/s, Wi-Fi, offline panel, compatible with the 1W IR module) and Vision (8 MP camera, $2,749.99). In October 2026 the Pro was listed for early-October shipping and the Basic for late November, so both are effectively pre-orders; only the Vision was shown in stock. No independent review of this generation yet.

What makes this machine stand out
Hardware and workflow features worth understanding before you buy : not just wattage on a label.
Water cooling inside the chassis
A 3 L tank and radiator sit inside the machine, so there is no external chiller or bucket to plumb. Monport asks for antifreeze below 5 °C.
Large bed with front pass-through
600 × 400 mm of engraving area, a 640 × 440 mm honeycomb and a 640 × 7 mm front slot for long, thin sheets, in a 1000 × 690 × 285 mm body.
Optional 1W IR module
The Pro and Vision accept a swappable 1W infrared module, sold separately, for marking bare metal that a CO₂ beam cannot mark.
Our verdict
Ideal if you
The 2026 Reno 65 puts a large bed, a 65W tube and water cooling in a single desktop box at a price below most 60W-class CO₂ machines. For sign makers and small shops cutting acrylic and plywood, the Pro version adds the motion speed and connectivity that make batch work practical.
Skip if you
Focus is assisted, not automatic, and only the Vision has a camera. A glass tube is a consumable with a short warranty. The machine weighs 40 kg and needs a sturdy table and an outside vent. Figures are Monport's until independent reviews of this generation appear.
Pros
- 600 × 400 mm bed and a 640 × 7 mm front pass-through on a machine about 1 m long
- Built-in 3 L water tank: no separate chiller or bucket, a cost most glass-tube CO₂ machines add
- Basic version at $1,599.99 (Monport, Oct 2026): cheaper than any other 60W-plus CO₂ in our catalog
Cons
- Magnetic assisted focus, not true autofocus: you still set the height for each material
- Glass tube rated 4,500 h below 40% power but 1,300 h above 70%, with a 6-month tube warranty
- Basic and Pro on pre-order in October 2026, and no independent review of this generation yet

Practical notes
Beginner notes
This profile covers the 2026 generation of the Reno 65. If you mainly cut acrylic and wood and can live without Wi-Fi, the Basic is the value pick; the Pro is the one to buy for 800 mm/s motion, the offline panel and the IR option. Plan an outside vent before delivery.
Pro tips
Keep tube power under about 70% for routine cuts: Monport's own life figures fall from 4,500 h to 1,300 h above that. Check the coolant level and add antifreeze if the room drops below 5 °C. Use the front pass-through for long strips, then re-zero with the red dot.

Common questions
Basic, Pro or Vision: what changes on the Reno 65?
All three share the 65W tube, the 600 × 400 mm bed, the built-in water cooling and the magnetic assisted focus. The Basic ($1,599.99) tops out at 500 mm/s, connects by USB only and runs LightBurn or LaserGRBL. The Pro ($2,249.99) reaches 800 mm/s, adds Wi-Fi, U-disk, an offline control panel, Monport's AutoLaser software and mobile app, and accepts the optional 1W IR module for metal marking. The Vision ($2,749.99) adds an 8 MP camera for placement and batch layouts.
Is the new Reno 65 available now?
Partly. On Monport's US store in October 2026 the Pro carried an estimated early-October ship date and the Basic late November, which makes them pre-orders; the Vision was shown in stock with one unit left. Check the ship date shown next to each version before ordering.
How thick can the Reno 65 cut?
Monport claims 20 mm acrylic in a single pass and shows 18 mm multi-layer plywood. Treat those as best-case figures with clean optics and air assist. For everyday work, plan on about 8–10 mm acrylic or plywood in one pass and several passes beyond that (our estimate). Remember that tube life drops sharply above 70% power.

Monport · CO₂ · $1,150 – $1,650
Monport's new-generation Reno 45, listed on 20 September 2026, keeps the 400 × 300 mm bed and 45W glass tube but moves the water cooling inside (3 L tank) and adds a 470 × 7 mm front pass-through, 100 mm of Z travel and magnetic assisted focus. Basic $1,149.99 (500 mm/s, USB), Pro $1,499.99 (600 mm/s, Wi-Fi, offline panel, compatible with the 1W IR module), Vision $1,649.99 (8 MP camera). All three were on pre-order in October 2026: Pro and Vision shipping late October, Basic late November. It replaces the earlier Reno 45 Pro Vision.
OMTech · CO₂ · $3,700
The Polar 2 70W replaces the original Polar with a much larger 710 × 360 mm bed, a 70W glass CO₂ tube cooled by an internal 4.3 L water loop, a 16 MP full-bed camera, one-touch auto-focus and a rotary in the box. It is the cutting-first, lower-cost half of the Polar 2 line; the 50W RF version engraves faster and finer. No independent long-term review yet.
xTool · CO₂ · $2,999 – $5,069
The P2S refines the original P2 with better software and autofocus. Same 55W CO₂ class for acrylic and wood production. Still xTool's main enclosed CO₂ below the P3 flagship: choose P3 if you need 80W and automation; P2S if 55W and budget fit.
