Ortur Master 3
When I started woodburning, I learned a lot about the process by watching videos and practicing on different types of wood. Woodburning is easy, think of it like this, you are drawing with a hot pencil; the difference is you do not have an eraser (LOL). As time passed, and a lot of woodburning projects been done, I wanted to take things to the next level. I wanted to get into laser etching and burning. I had no clue about any laser products, so I did some research. After reviewing a few machines and reading the customer feedback. I decided to go with the Ortur Master 3.

Once the machine arrived, I was a bit overwhelmed by all the parts that I laid out. I grabbed the installation guide and to my surprise it was well organized with detailed step by step picture illustrations. The enclosed USB flash drive had additional information links to instructional videos, software to use for the machine, as well as step by step instruction on how to install the software along with tips and tricks. When I got on Facebook there was even a group dedicated to this machine. I learned a lot from the group everyone is so patient and friendly.
After I assembled everything and went over some basic information, I done my first impression and what I burned took only 45 minutes. The end was not perfect, but I can honestly say it was not bad for my very first time. There is a lot to learn about laser etching from the type of wood or glass to use as well as how deep you want to burn into the wood. Those settings you will learn from trial and error (that’s what worked for me). I am no expert at this, but I can tell you after doing this for a while I don’t consider myself a beginner (LOL).
If you ever consider laser etching, I will strongly suggest starting out with the Ortur Master 3. They have entry level ones at lower prices, but the laser is not as powerful. Trust me, once you learn the basics you will want a more powerful laser, so why do you make the right investment and get it right the first time so you would not have to buy another machine. Well, if you buy two of them you can get a lot more projects don’t (LOL).
