Is Getting a Cheap Laser Engraver Worth It?

Those cheap laser engravers that cost between $100 and $500 can be very tempting if you’re looking for your first one.

They say:

  • Set up that is easy for beginners
  • A small footprint on your desk
  • The ability to engrave with a laser at home for cheap
  • On the surface, it feels like a smart, low-risk way to start.

But you need to answer a very important question:

Is it really worth it to buy a cheap laser engraver, or will it cost you more in the long run?
