I bought my first laser 10 years ago. It was a 40W Universal and I paid $15,000 for it...we have come a long way

I would stay away from any cheap laser that claims for "beginner friendly". You will waste more time fixing the machine than learning how to engrave.

Great tips! Storing of wood and acrylics hit home for me. I learned quickly to store those materials flat. Since my shop is in a basement, humidity and any moisture in air can affect those material more than I knew. Keep up the great videos.

Thank you so much for your guidance and all the information. I only got my laser (xtool S1 40w) a few days ago. Due to work and running tests on my materials I have only made 1 piece but I absolutely love my babe 😂

Great points Sarah! And because you can laser, doesn't mean you should, or if it is worth it. Thank you!

I always say when buying anything to do with electronics, then you get what you pay for.
