Looking for your first laser engraver but overwhelmed by the options? In this hands-on review, I test the new Ortur R2 diode laser to determine if it truly lives up to its claim of being a beginner-friendly machine. With powerful 10W or 20W options, built-in safety features, camera support, and easy setup, the R2 is designed for small workshop owners, makers, and first-time business owners who want to start cutting and engraving materials like wood, acrylic, leather, and even metal—right out of the box. I’ll walk you through setup, run engraving and cutting tests, highlight real-world projects, and break down the pros and cons so you can decide if this is the right laser for your shop. Whether you’re upgrading from a basic diode or buying your first laser, this could be the most innovative tool in your business. 🔗 Ortur Affiliate Link: https://ortur.net/?ref=srsjpjox ►►►► SOCIAL MEDIA • Channel Membership ➭ https://www.youtube.com/@SteveMakesEverything/join • Instagram ➭ @slicedpidesign • Facebook ➭ https://www.facebook.com/SteveMakesEverything • my business site ➭ https://www.slicedpi.design • my Etsy store ➭ https://slicedpidesign.etsy.com • email ➭ stevemakeseverything@gmail.com (business inquiries) #ortur #makersgonnamake #maker #laserengraving #diodelaser
