Step 4: What Can You Engrave and Cut
With this 500mW laser machine you can engrave cardboard, wood, plastic and leather! Also you can engrave something on your (plastic) phone cases, pencils, toys or... toothpicks!
Because this laser is only 500mW you can't cut wood or plastic. But you can easily cut paper and foam.
Just remember to adjust the "laser bot" on it and wear your safety glasses!

I have just learned by sad experience that you do not want to buy
this or anything from GREARBEST. I bought one of these and it burned
once and stopped. After quite the struggle of getting them to
understand that the laser does not work (them asking the exact same
question every time- can't they read prior communications?) they finally
told me I can return it for refund where the cost would be about the
same as if I bought this again.
This has great potential, but you need to find a reliable source before you embark on this project.

This is a showcase of a product, not an instructable. Nice laser engraver though.
