Glowforge

The Glowforge Aura is a crafting laser designed with small projects in mind. In our review we found it to be capable of etching a lot of materials, but it struggled with large cutting pieces. It's compact and makes a lot of cool things easily.

Ikier

This laser cutter is designed with two lasers. One is a 24W low-power laser designed for etching into wood, plastic, and anodized aluminum; the other is a high-power 48W laser capable of cutting through wood and acrylic. Using the right laser will save you time and money. Just like this Black Friday deal.

Xtool

If you like to take your wares to craft fairs this little laser cutter can be fantastic. Coupled with your laptop and a Jackery power station you can make custom designs for people at the show. No mess, no fuss. It's a fantastic way to get people talking.

Snapmaker

If you are new to the world of "making" and can't decide between Lasers and 3D printers, then choose the Snapmaker 2 A350T and get both. The Snapmaker 2 has swappable modules so you can make the most of your imagination. This Black Friday sees it drop to the lowest price ever at just $999.

Black Friday Deals are everywhere and while this list isn't exhaustive, just buy going searching laser cutters on Amazon you can find some amazing bargains. It's time to jump into making in a big way and we are here to help you do it.
