Alder cuts in 2 clean passes at full power. Medium hardness makes it more reliable than oak at 40W diode. Air assist helps with edge quality. Consistent results across the S1's large work area.

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

"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."

"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."
