REVIEW – I’ve wanted to review a laser engraver for some time, but I’ve always felt a bit intimidated. However, I decided to put my fears aside and dive right in. I was excited and somewhat nervous to review the latest laser engraver from LaserPecker, the LP5. What caught my interest about the LP5 was

REVIEW – xTool has recently announced their newest laser engraver, the xTool F1 Ultra that features both a 20W diode laser and a 20W fiber laser. Not only is this a world’s first, but xTool has also raised the bar for laser engravers by implementing a camera and a conveyor system. What is it? The

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a few laser engravers in the past and we get offers to review others all the time, but they don’t seem to differ much. Most all of them have the same form factor, offer basic functions, and a few safety features. So, I haven’t thrown my hat into the ring to

REVIEW – It truly is amazing how lasers have gone from primarily scientific and science fiction uses to something that we can use and craft with in our homes. When the Mecpow X5 Pro 33W Laser Engraving Machine came up for review I figured that it would be a great opportunity to take the plunge

REVIEW – I am new to laser engravers but was intrigued by the possibilities. I always was interested in engraving items and giving out personalized gifts, but I was unsure how complicated it would be to produce a quality engraving. How well did the Wainlux K10 Mini Laser Engraver help me overcome my concerns? Read

REVIEW – For some time, I have had this idea about my branding and creating unique designs that I would then display on media like cups and plaques, T-shirts, bags, etc. I recently reviewed the Akeydiy Heat Press and I think it will work for the cloth-type material products I want to design. However, I

REVIEW – This may surprise you (or not), but the Gadgeteers have a gadget Discord where we chat about all kinds of things. It’s kind of a geekfest, as you might imagine, but if you are a geek like me, you kinda love it.  The coolest of the geek discussions by far is the laser

REVIEW – One of the biggest problems I often encounter as a maker/tinkerer is finding room on my workbench for the latest new tools. Case in point, my current laser engraver, the TwoTrees TS2, which I reviewed back in January 2023, is great, but it takes up pretty much all of my workspace whenever I

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Ortur Laser Master 3 laser engraver that used an open frame design and although I did like it there were a few shortcomings. The open design meant I had to keep my garage doors open for ventilation but also curious kids kept wanting to look at the bare laser

REVIEW – I previously reviewed Longer’s 30W B1 with air assist (read it here) and have loved it since. The combination of raw power, ultra-fast cutting, and air assist made it the go-to machine for engraving and cutting. They’ve released an even more powerful version, topping at 48 watts for the fastest results. Please join

REVIEW – I have reviewed a couple of laser engraver machines for The Gadgeteer, and when the Wainlux K8 came up for review, I was very intrigued by not only its styling, but its unique feature set. Wainlux has several machines in their lineup that are on par with larger, more “traditional” laser etching machines.
