    I love the advanced autofocus feature-it's saves me so much time! Plus, the collapsible column makes it super easy to transport to different locations. I've tested a range of materials, and the results are consistently impressive. I love it!

    great video, what are your thoughts of power supply / laser source under the worktable? is this not an area susceptible to dust which may cause longer term issues? I like the look of these machines but it sort of puts me off having the techie gear under the work surface..

    The first test with aluminum I was like "yeah, my 2.5W laser does it" and then you showed the cutting

      @@JTMakesIt I wonder how well the tree lasers do (10 6w diodes in a trench coat)
      If they have similar cutting performance (with obviously slower speed than with a galvo) it may be a great alternative if you don't care about speed and already have a gantry.

      @@satibel You mean blue laser diodes? Completely different use case. They can't engrave metals. They are great for cutting wood and acrylic, and can engrave stainless steel or anodized aluminum,. but can't touch brass, copper, zinc, chrome or raw aluminum... I have tested 70W Atomstack blue diode laser recently. You can check out my video.

      @@JTMakesIt That is a fair point, I suppose I should have left the old reviews up until I got going with lasers, and constructive criticism is always welcome
      To clarify I am trying to get my hands on something to review, not a sponsor, I'll happily pay shipping costs, rental fee, or anything else required including returning the machine when I'm done
      Unfortunately I am not in a situation where I can afford to buy multiple machines for review and I can't make a proper review within the two weeks return window (and if I could doing that would not be fair to the company I buy from), hence why I figured I would ask you seeing as you were somewhat local on the global scale
