    Hi Skyler, Thank you for the information it was well explained and helpful. I like that it comes with the steel plate and the grid on some lasers this is extra. Being 100% lightburn is also a good point. Thank you for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • @joea361
    Just got this machine.. the 40w tho. Love it!!!

    Thank you all of your laser reviews - you make it sound so easy. I've never used one - I engrave by hand with a wood burner but would like to try one.

    Hi, I recently came across your channel and love to watch your videos. You have reviewed many laser machines. I like to work with wood. I am thinking of starting engraving and cutting. What machine you recommend for a hobbyist which is best bang for dollars and also have recommended features. I dont want to waste money on very cheap machine and regret after few uses. Thanks for all the good stuff you show us. Love from Canada ❤🇨🇦❤
  • @user-lz2rs1dd4j
    Thanks for quick reply. I will check that. You have mentioned that one in your vlog. Any runner up (second option) you recommend.
  • @mtz3843
    can everything that you showed be done on the wecreat?
  • @harrymark6748
    Awesome machine! I like the Lightburn compatibility and the full enclosure. Looks like a quality product.

    Hello, I just purchased and received the same unit a week ago, by chance, did you have any issues getting the camera to work? Mine won't work with the included cable, however, I did unplug the camera under the hood and plugged it directly into my laptop and it worked. So I decided to order another cable since customer support seems to be on the slow side......hoping I only received a bad cable, I really don't feel like boxing this thing up again. If you did have an issue please do share what fixed it!!! TY! Great video!

    Good evening Skyler. I’ve been enjoying your videos. Novice question here but will a higher wattage laser give you a finer (more intricate detail) engraving? Or does the higher wattage really just help you cut thicker material? My woodworkers guild is looking to engrave military branch logos on veteran urns and some are very intricate.

    Through review again, if you could only have one Laser would you purchase the 40w of this brand going forward for your type of projects intrests you share? I understand if you cant comment or rank them 1-2 & 3 due to people with different uses and budgets etc. or picking prefered Manf sponsers. Seems like you really like the xTool but the main drawback is due to it not being 100% lightburn compatability? The software complexity and ease of use is a big importance for my decision getting into this tool as retiremnt is looming in the next couple of years. If XTool was 100% Lightburn compatable is that the easy choice between the Sain Smart, WeCreat and the xtool? They don't make picking one over the other easy IMO. I like the ability of the xTool's to swap 3 laser powers in the unit as well as the feed table extension for sign making? Your reviews are the best, thanks for sharing your time and knowledge Skler. I need to start a comparison list of these but struggle listing the important features to list in such table? Can you mention the maintance encountered using these tools as well? Thanks Skyler

    Thanks for your review on this laser. Seems like a good machine for the cost. I wish you would do a review on the Roly 10-20 watt or the 10-30 watt.
  • @drogersusa
    I noticed in your video (at 17.01) that it appears the bottom of the laser is not one solid piece, but rather completely open when the honeycomb is not in place (when you had the honeycomb laying underneath it). Then, when you lifted it up on the riser legs - it looks like everything is totally open from the riser legs down to the table and across the bottom of the machine. Did I miss something? How does the machine filter out all the smoke and debree when you are using the risers? Sorry if this is a stupid question - new to lasers and just starting to review them.
  • @rayk9315
    That's a great machine. It would be good for small boxes and other small projects.
  • @dougk5456
    Very nice review!! Is there any information on the expected life of the laser? If you mentioned that I missed it.
  • @Jocelyn_Menard
    Great video. Nice machine. I thought it was the Roly at the beginning. Is it me or the onboard camera is crooked? The image in Lightburn sems to be.
