Full power slow cut gives flame-polished edges on clear cast acrylic. The Basic's 40W tube needs slightly slower speed than the Pro for the same quality result. Always use cast acrylic rather than extruded — extruded acrylic produces hazardous chlorine gas.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

Anna

★★★★★

"I was struggling with lining up my NFC business cards. I was able to not only line them up much better but also do multiple cards at once — making that job so much easier."

Camp

"Excellent quality. Item as described. Expectations exceeded."

Michael

★★★★★

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
