    I don’t think review videos can get much better than this. Thank you so much!
  • Excellent video, Thank you! I used this to set up my unit today and I'm already engraving .
  • @cedric9776
    Wow, I think this is the most complete and comprehensive review/explanation I've found online, which is of great value for a beginner like me. Thanks so much for that!
  • This review is so good. I think showing the full range of use is the most informative I've seen.
  • One of the best overviews of this I've seen, you covered things that no one else seems to, and I'm looking forward to using mine when it arrives.
  • That's by far the clearest presentation of the Ortur Master 2 I have yet seen. Mine is on the way so it gives me time to prepare. You include a lot of useful information. Many thanks.
  • @FilterYT
    That was a fantastic review, thank you from a first time viewer.
  • @exituscaeli959
    Absolute smash out of the park review and demo. Otur should be paying you. I'd talked myself out of getting this but you answered every preliminary question I had. Now I actually see the NEED for this in my project and it's an entirely different perspective. My budget battles are between 3D printer resin supplies or getting additional hardware. I think I'm sold. This is an investment.
  • @Xelz_28
    This has been a great and thorough review. Thank you. I'm suppose to be starting a new job with this laser so this is very helpful before I actually use it.
  • @dertoken
    I just bought an Ortur 15W Master Laser 2 and your video helped me so so much to get it up and running. The best hint was that I have to hold the shift-key when I want to turn on the laser while running along the frame. Many thanks!!
  • @bbdd345
    Excellent video demonstration and tutorial. Thank you, as you are the first person I actually understood, becuase you didn't miss a step while others assume too much. Your a genious. Thank you

    The thoroughness of this presentation is impressive. I ordered the "20watt" version based on a first viewing. I appreciate your clarification of input versus cutting power, as well as a live demo of what can be accomplished with this unit. The Ortur is preferable to the similarly priced Chinese K 40 CO2 lasers IMHO because the K 40s, while more powerful, the build quality and included components seem spotty at best, and the the setup is more difficult. Many CO2 lasers tout pass through capability, a feature that would obviously be easy to implement. The easy customization of an extrusion based frame makes it easy to implement changes to expand capabilities. If this proof of concept laser works for me, I will likely order a larger more capable FullSpectrum machine, while retaining this surprising capable machine. Thank you!

    Woah you can engrave clothes! This is a whole new stuff for clothes design!
  • @dennis954rr01
    Thank you so much for the great video. I muddled through 5 or so USELESS videos before finally finding what I needed and more in this video. Concise and thorough, excellent video!
  • Brilliant video, I ordered the 20W last night and this video will be on repeat when I build it!
  • I watched all of the videos on this laser and your Review and attention to detail is by far the best! CHEERS! And Thank you!
  • @cornpop7805
    Wow, this is the best review of any product I've ever viewed! Your audio is flawless, your descriptions are perfect, the procedure order is excellent.

    This video has to be the most informative video on the whole youtube. No bullshit intros and gibberish. Everything from assembly to usage and control. Awesome video. Subbed.
