I'm glad I could help. It's all a combination of speed and power. The more power you have, the faster you can go. If you're only doing a few cutting boards, a five watt will work. A 10 or 20 watt will definitely be better. I like the two trees because it has the straight bar crossed where you can slide your board up against and no that you're engraving is going to be straight. I already have a 20 watt and this laser I am giving away. If I was buying another laser for myself, I would get the two trees TS2 20 watt with the screen.
Received my TS2, 10w today. Took a couple hours to assemble (absolute novice) but now can’t get Lightburn to recognize the TS2. The instructions are pretty good but not what I’d call complete.
Llevo con el unas 2 semanas, compre primero en Amazon por 409€ y cancele unas horas después al ver que en la web costaba 239€.... Mi único problema, aparte de ser novato, es que mi cama de abeja debe ser muy fina y si pongo algo de 3 mm, el autonivel no llega a tocar el material, tengo que poner algo para elevar el material. El resto genial, y soporte técnico atiende rápido.
To tell the truth, I had not noticed the material thickness setting on the color tabs when I was testing. I was using the presets under the move console. I have done some testing but am not sure what the reactions are when setting the material thickness. When cutting the 3/4" I just clicked the cut 6mm button, and it worked great. I hope to have time to do some more testing soon. I will try to get you a better answer then.
I did some testing. The material thickness setting is; if you set the laser height to your bed. Then place material on top of the bed to engrave. You can set the thickness and the laser will raise that amount. I think this would only work if tou have a fixed bed like a co2 laser. I just move the head and use the micros on the console menu to set the probe on top of what o want to engrave. Also if you installed the light burn profiles that came on the SD card, it sets up 6 micros. I have not taken the time to learn how to create micros but since I cut thicker material I right clicked the "cut 2mm" then on the label changed it to "cut 18mm" and in the g code changed it from -1 to -9. Hope this helps.
I bought an Ikier Ultra two weeks ago. Before I received it, there was a $500 coupon on Amazon. I returned the one and bought the cheaper one. I just looked. The current price is cheaper without a coupon than I paid with the coupon. These prices seem to change daily.
Good review and right on time. I’m in the process of trying to get a laser to engrave cutting boards. Thanks!

Did you load the profile off the SD card into lightburn? Also, did you select the com port?
I did not but I’m heading to the work shop now to start over. Thanks. @@ShopRamblings
Hi I'm stuck between the two trees and the elegoo what would you say is better please
Twotrees was definitely much better for me.

I think most people use a honeycomb bed, which raises the material up. I am glad tech support got it figured out for you.
Hi, what are your cut settings in Lightburn? Also, did you set the material mm's? I get an Alarm 1 error whenever I set over 6.5mm cut.

You said this engraver cost you a little over 200. I just looked on Amazon and it shows 359. A big jump in a months time.
