REVIEW – My life has revolved around lasers ever since I reviewed the xTool M1 laser in 2022. xTool recently came out with their most powerful laser cutter and engraver to date; The xTool P2 Versatile and Smart Desktop 55W CO2 Laser Cutter. This is the laser machine I have been waiting for since I […]

REVIEW – Last October, my brother (the real woodworker) and I reviewed the Atezr P20 Plus laser engraving machine. Despite a few quirks—addressed in this review—we quite liked the engraver. In fact, my brother still uses it to make great gifts and a few money-making side projects. This review is a follow-up to the P20

REVIEW – There’s nothing quite like the joy and satisfaction of making stuff. It takes time, effort, and the right tools to get the job done. For laser engraving, Longer’s B1 30-Watt packs potent power for project progress, but for heaven’s sake, please be careful! It’s a beast! What is it? The Longer B1 is

REVIEW – I have always been fascinated by the cool crafting projects I have seen for sale at various farmer’s markets and artists’ shows in the area.  I am talking about the kind of crafts where you see flat wooden ornaments with different names inside of them, etched tumblers, etched glass, and etched and cut

REVIEW – While 3D printers have gotten more popular as prices have come down and the technology has advanced I haven’t seen quite the same rise in the popularity of laser engravers. As more affordable and versatile engravers hit the market though their popularity might be catching up to that of their 3D printing cousins.

REVIEW – When I was growing up, lasers were huge, industrial, cantankerous beasts, and largely the stuff of science fiction. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine owning a laser powerful enough to be useful. With Atomstack’s X7 Pro Laser engraver sent to us by Lasercome, I can engrave and cut with ease and

REVIEW – Laser engravers/cutters are everywhere these days.  Seems like a lot of people discovered during COVID that making unique, personalized, and custom gifts is a great way to cut costs and even, perhaps, develop a side hustle.  Like with any hobby, though, having the right tools is the difference between great gifts and owning a

REVIEW – The Gadgeteer is a site for people who love gadgets (duh). Some of those gadgets will be common items and some may be the kind of gadgets that have limited appeal—except to those who can appreciate what it can do. Such is the case with the Atezr P20 Plus Laser Engraving Machine.  This

REVIEW – The maker space is filled with a lot of cool equipment, but seeing the word laser in a product name just sounds awesome. The first laser products I ever saw in person were large machines the size of pool tables that felt very intimidating. The D1 Pro from xTool is a very different
