About LaserBase

LaserBase is an independent publisher covering laser engravers and hobby cutting machines. We write comparison guides, troubleshooting walkthroughs, and material setting references — without sponsored rankings or paid placements.

What We Cover

The laser engraver market has grown fast — Glowforge, xTool, Bambu Laser, Sculpfun, Ortur, and a dozen other brands now compete across a wide price range. Most buying guides online are either outdated, affiliated with one brand, or written by people who haven't actually used the machines.

LaserBase focuses on the questions that actually matter when you're choosing or using a laser engraver: which machine is right for your use case and budget, what settings work on which materials, and how to fix the problems that every laser cutter eventually develops.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on LaserBase point to products on Amazon or manufacturer sites. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, LaserBase may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This is how we fund the site. It does not influence which products we recommend — we recommend what we'd tell a friend to buy, not what pays the highest commission.
