Laser engraving is one of the best ways to add a personal touch to your projects. From logos on business cards to initials on cutting boards you’ll always find a new use for a laser. The only problem is they are VERY expensive.

In this video, we check out one that isn’t. We review the Ortur Laser Master Engraver V2 ($200) and see if it can take the crown for the best budget laser engraver.

The 3018 is one of the most popular desktop CNC mills. We check out its upgraded brother the Genmitsu 3020 Pro Max to see if it’s worth the extra $$.

**Note: I keep calling it 3050 instead of 3020 in the review, sorry about that! We’ve got a new baby at home and I was sleep deprived 😉
