Thinking about getting a laser like this in your shop? In this video, let's look at some practical ways this laser might be useful in your leathercraft. I've been having a blast with it so far, engraving coffee mugs, cutting and egraving leather, cutting thin plywood... It's fun! Looking forward to further testing!

xTool sent me this laser to review and use, and I can assure you I'm giving you my honest two cents in this review. Though I wasn't paid for the video, the above link is an affiliate link, so I do earn a commission if you purchase through that link.
