    Nice video! The Commarker B4 appears to offer promising capabilities, particularly for metal engraving enthusiasts. However, when considering laser options, it's worth exploring the Monport laser machine as well. Renowned for its reliability, precision, and versatility, Monport lasers are favored by professionals and hobbyists alike. With Monport, you can expect exceptional performance and quality results across a wide range of materials and applications, making it a valuable addition to any engraving toolkit.

    Informative video...actually already I wasted my money buying Atomstack X20 pro... They didnt clearly mentioned that it can't cut transperant acrylic... From my experience only it came to know that. My other requirement was to stencil cut on 0.05mm thick steel sheet, which also they mentioned in their cutting list. Even that was also not happening. At low power its not cutting, and as power increases, the metal sheet is melting, shrinking, wrinkles, dark ashes etc happening. Honey comb bed was used beneath.

    You can actually engrave on glass without a coating, it's a process you need something black under the glass they won't ignite! It melt! Power and speed are very finicky from machine to machine I have done it and broke a lot of glass , um still trying to get the settings perfect. I'm using a Roly LaserMATIC 20w with it set to 10w . The way in this video is definitely better for beginners.
