That's by far the clearest presentation of the Ortur Master 2 I have yet seen. Mine is on the way so it gives me time to prepare. You include a lot of useful information. Many thanks.
Absolute smash out of the park review and demo. Otur should be paying you. I'd talked myself out of getting this but you answered every preliminary question I had. Now I actually see the NEED for this in my project and it's an entirely different perspective. My budget battles are between 3D printer resin supplies or getting additional hardware. I think I'm sold. This is an investment.
Wow, I think this is the most complete and comprehensive review/explanation I've found online, which is of great value for a beginner like me. Thanks so much for that!
I just bought an Ortur 15W Master Laser 2 and your video helped me so so much to get it up and running. The best hint was that I have to hold the shift-key when I want to turn on the laser while running along the frame. Many thanks!!
The thoroughness of this presentation is impressive. I ordered the "20watt" version based on a first viewing. I appreciate your clarification of input versus cutting power, as well as a live demo of what can be accomplished with this unit. The Ortur is preferable to the similarly priced Chinese K 40 CO2 lasers IMHO because the K 40s, while more powerful, the build quality and included components seem spotty at best, and the the setup is more difficult. Many CO2 lasers tout pass through capability, a feature that would obviously be easy to implement. The easy customization of an extrusion based frame makes it easy to implement changes to expand capabilities. If this proof of concept laser works for me, I will likely order a larger more capable FullSpectrum machine, while retaining this surprising capable machine. Thank you!
The amount of work dedicated to make this video.. that isn't just a review of the ortur laser cutter, but basically a complete guide on how to use one, and a really good aditionally. Thanks for your work, really clean presentation!
Hi what a great find I have spent two days trying to find what software i need to run my brand new ortor just about to give up looking at time wasting u tube rubbish. Then i found yours it answers all my questions how to get started was most important. thank you very much no time wasting, concise and to the point. Thanks so much stay safe.
I ordered mine and decided to look up some videos for a leg up and im so freaking excited. I just got mine for wood but knowing it works so well on other materials like mirrors is opening up so many new ideas for me. Great video and very thorough.
Got this same laser as a birthday gift from my in-laws. Quite excited to start working with it, and ever grateful for such kind in-laws :-P. In the meantime, great to see these sort of reviews on the TH-cams. (commenting for the Al-Gore-ithm)
Actually found after another brand (lower priced) model popped up in ads. But by far this is the clearest and easiest to understand. The other one could not find any info or videos. So that made me search deeper. The best product representation I've seen. But shipping time could be improved. Standing by /saving for order.
Clearly you didn't actually watch the video where I explained the difference between input power and optical output power. I find that with stupid people they react without thinking or researching, they act like a dog, see something, react to something, except you can train dogs. Here boy have a dog biscuit and fuck off.
This video has to be the most informative video on the whole youtube. No bullshit intros and gibberish. Everything from assembly to usage and control. Awesome video. Subbed.
This has been a great and thorough review. Thank you. I'm suppose to be starting a new job with this laser so this is very helpful before I actually use it.
Great video. While searching for tips for a new woodworker, I fell down the rabbit hole in a CNC path which led me to 3D printer that led me to laser printers - I enjoyed every minute of this journey - but you led me out of the hole with your well presented, detailed, presentation and I am ready to jump into the laser medium. I am a retired old man with too much time on my hands and I can't wait to add a laser to my toys. Thank you.
I was considering a FS Muse system, but I wanted to begin to understand the technology before taking the plunge. When i saw this system a while back I thought it's a toy that could not cut more than paper, and so I stayed away. Buying a K40 type laser did not appeal to me although there is a great deal of information on dealing with that type of systems shortcomings. I'm a design engineer, so the upgrade process didn't scare me from the technical point of view, but I did not want to take on another project of that type at this time. When I found this video, I bought my OLM2 based on this presentation, especially when i learned that it had the capabilities you have shown. Since then, I have been inspired to take the journey, following the learning paths that you linked to. Thank you.
Thank you so much, guy ! At least a video that treats most of all the materials I could dream to cut and grave, without searching to last and last till the death just to reach unbearable ads. You saved my evening. Best thoughts from Brittany / France
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and have been consistently impressed! You are doing a great job, your production quality is excellent, and you've been a phenomenal help in my journey back into cnc and laser technology. Thank you for everything you do, and keep up the phenomenal work!!!
This is a great laser, ive done a lot of projects with it. Only thing is that the laser lost significant power and no amount of focusing would work. I upgraded the laser to a 30w and its back at perfect. I recommend using lightburn with it.
You should take these comments and use them in your resume for this company. I bet you could easily get hired by them as the new video/PR guy. Sold I’m ordering one next month because of this review.
Excellent video demonstration and tutorial. Thank you, as you are the first person I actually understood, becuase you didn't miss a step while others assume too much. Your a genious. Thank you
Excellent video...enjoyed every second of it, from start to end. Very informative and the latter part of the video opened my eyes to new or potential projects that I could use a machine to execute. Thanks again for spending so much time to give your audience a wonderful, well edited video presentation. Excellent job!
Thank you so much for the great video. I muddled through 5 or so USELESS videos before finally finding what I needed and more in this video. Concise and thorough, excellent video!
One of the best, if not the best video I have seen on this machine. All useful & relevant information. You should give lessons on making these type of videos. There would be so much more useful videos out there then, instead of a lot of the garbage there is now. Keep up the good work.
Plan to make a business like this. but it drives me crazy about the software. Specially that im not an IT a lot of progmam to changed specially the stuff to used for the machine. Looking forward my self to absorb all the information you’ve shared man thank you 🙏
Superb video! Mine arrived today, and i don't think I'd have assembled it as quickly as i did with just the official user manual. Mine appears to be a slightly later version, and there are a couple of new bits not covered in this video, but they are not covered in the manual either. I'm saving this video as a go to reference guide.
I want to use this to put images on wallets and maybe some wooden objects. I've also thought about dog tags. This video made me very excited to order this same model. I need to move things in my work space to allow for ventilation. Maybe build a cheap table so I have an expendable work space. Edit: When you did the mirror I nearly shat. Then you just kept going! I am ordering this asap
If you allow me a trick, Apply before to the wood a layer of ammonium bromide or Borax (dissolve them in warm water 1 unit per 10 of water). Once dry, the wood will be ready for an engraving, deep black with a higher contrast.
Great Review, do you know how it would stack up against engraving something that is not flat? like a 3d heart made of clay or non glazed (matt) white ceramic? thanks
This is a very professional video. I just got my master laser 2 and can't wait to start working with it. Mostly I will be using it on wood engravings for my bowls, so hopefully the 20w laser will have a fine enough tip for my needs. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
Hi, I only want to use the ortur on coloured anodised aluminium I will not need the laser to cut anything only to put text onto the anodised aluminium, speed doesn’t matter so which will be the best quality, the 7 watt, 15 watt or 20 watt. I hope you can reply to this. Thanks.

I have to agree with the previous comments, great review and use, and for people setting up this laser very good detail on the settings. Just subscribed to your channel. Cheers.
The only think I am lacking Is the air system, but I am not even able to cut 1/16, I cannot figure out the settings and the wood gets very bad before it cuts like all black. Can you give me the settings you are using and if the air system is something I will need for make this work???
I don’t think review videos can get much better than this. Thank you so much!
Can it cut paper materials?
That's by far the clearest presentation of the Ortur Master 2 I have yet seen. Mine is on the way so it gives me time to prepare. You include a lot of useful information. Many thanks.
Well? Do you like it?
@@DavidALovingMPF102 - I'm wondering that as well.
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat in suspense to your review!
You got a squad waiting on the feedback bud

Without a doubt, the best review of this machine out there. Well done, and loved watching it.
Thanks 👍
I absolutely agree. Best video on this machine. I'd be willing to watch a couple more.
I ordered mine and decided to look up some videos for a leg up and im so freaking excited. I just got mine for wood but knowing it works so well on other materials like mirrors is opening up so many new ideas for me. Great video and very thorough.
contact me, show you something you interested.
How are you liking it so far?
Excellent video, Thank you! I used this to set up my unit today and I'm already engraving .
Wow, this is the best review of any product I've ever viewed! Your audio is flawless, your descriptions are perfect, the procedure order is excellent.
contact me, show you something you interested.
Woah you can engrave clothes! This is a whole new stuff for clothes design!
Have y tried ?
Got this same laser as a birthday gift from my in-laws. Quite excited to start working with it, and ever grateful for such kind in-laws :-P. In the meantime, great to see these sort of reviews on the TH-cams. (commenting for the Al-Gore-ithm)
I watched all of the videos on this laser and your Review and attention to detail is by far the best! CHEERS! And Thank you!
Thanks
Actually found after another brand (lower priced) model popped up in ads. But by far this is the clearest and easiest to understand. The other one could not find any info or videos. So that made me search deeper. The best product representation I've seen. But shipping time could be improved. Standing by /saving for order.
World needs more reviews like this one :D

To say the least, this video is described as creative.
I don't need to install my device except watch this great video.
Thank you from the heart.
As usual, brilliant video. no chit chat only relevant info..
Thanks
This video has to be the most informative video on the whole youtube. No bullshit intros and gibberish. Everything from assembly to usage and control. Awesome video. Subbed.
Master, you did an amazing job for us! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This review is so good. I think showing the full range of use is the most informative I've seen.
This has been a great and thorough review. Thank you. I'm suppose to be starting a new job with this laser so this is very helpful before I actually use it.
How has it been for you?

AT LAST... a video that explains everything about this machine. Been looking at many American videos - all are totally unhelpful. Thumbs up.
Kudos Sir, above and beyond.
Just came across this review. This was exactly the level of info I needed to make a decision about this engraver. I appreciate your thoroughness!
Thanks
contact me, show you something you interested.
Thanks for the great overview, I just bought on and I'm looking forward to trying it out
Yu recommend?
This is a great laser, ive done a lot of projects with it. Only thing is that the laser lost significant power and no amount of focusing would work. I upgraded the laser to a 30w and its back at perfect. I recommend using lightburn with it.
Thanks for the video. Would you make a video on how to print a photograph on wood.
U deserve a olympic medal for this review! Gj sir
You should take these comments and use them in your resume for this company. I bet you could easily get hired by them as the new video/PR guy.
Sold I’m ordering one next month because of this review.
The best Ortur laser video on youtube!! G8 lens is a good upgrade as well
Thanks. I have been looking for a G8 lens, I cant seem to find any, I will have to import one I guess.
One of the best-detailed videos I have seen ..
Brilliant video, I ordered the 20W last night and this video will be on repeat when I build it!
Very helpful video. I am not new to laser cutting, but I just got this model and found your video to be more helpful than the user's manual. Thanks!
Thanks
Well done! Really makes my apprehensions of buying one go away.

Thank you so much for this video.
In the order feedback I recommand your video to all aliexpress buyers who want to buy this cnc laser engraver
What was your experience with Ali express
@@nevillearnold9087 It was ok.The package arrived in two weeks.(November 2020) I buyed from official Ortur store
Now that is what I would call a review...well done.
Thanks
Excellent information, much appreciated. I'm goin to try this, many years ago I did some wood carving, looks like my creativity will be tested here.
This is the best instructional video that I have ever seen. Thank you!
Really good review thanks. I’ve decided against buying one to use to engrave my wood work as it just looks so complicated to use.
The same as everything the first time you try it.
Kawał dobrej roboty. Dziękuję. Pozdrawiam z Polski
Bro, this video just saved my life!!! Thank you!!
Great. Because off this Video i could work with the correct settings and be able to become a good engrave on my blanks... Thank you
Very, very informative and enjoyable! Thank you!
excellent explanation ! Great Demo!
Thank you
Very well done. So thorough. Much appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Well how did it go?
Great Review, do you know how it would stack up against engraving something that is not flat? like a 3d heart made of clay or non glazed (matt) white ceramic? thanks
Thank you! I think I am going to get this and using lightburn and use it to cut leather with.
Towards the end of the video what was the purpose of the compressor, and also the purpose of the rubber and around the laser itself
Absolutely great review. So clear, so many different materials. So informative!
Great Video! I just ordered an Ortur Master 2 today...this is my reference video.
have you got it yet? i just ordered mine last week
Where do you go to order one...?
This is a very professional video. I just got my master laser 2 and can't wait to start working with it. Mostly I will be using it on wood engravings for my bowls, so hopefully the 20w laser will have a fine enough tip for my needs. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.

Could you tell me, is there specific software version I need to download for a Mac? Many thanks.
Lightburn has a Mac version. Other people have got it working ok, I have n't tried it though. I think laser web also has a Mac version.
I like the magnets from a microwave for hold down weights.!!
Excellent review and demo of this lasers capabilities. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video! Super helpful.
Great Video! I ordered an Ortur Master Nov.10th. Cant wait, I wanted to use it for Christmas items, well will du it next year!!
That looks great. I have a co2 laser that works great bet the work table is much smaller
In this video I build and test an Ortur Laser Master 2 - 20W laser Engraver. The laser has an optic power output of 5.5W.

I have to agree with the previous comments, great review and use, and for people setting up this laser very good detail on the settings. Just subscribed to your channel. Cheers.
Excellent and thorough review. Thank you.
Thank you! This is the most helpful video for this laser!
Is it possible to engrave in colorless plexiglass? How is it to put some foundation? Because it is known that the laser will pass through plexiglass
The only think I am lacking Is the air system, but I am not even able to cut 1/16, I cannot figure out the settings and the wood gets very bad before it cuts like all black. Can you give me the settings you are using and if the air system is something I will need for make this work???
Air makes a huge difference but basically you just have to experiment, some wood burns well, some doesn't.
Great review mine has just arrived can you tell what size compressor you used please
A big shop compressor but people use little ones successfully.
Great presentation 👏 clear & interesting it has been a great help. Terry
it is really very smart laser engraver, which is easy to deliver and install.
How did you come about settings for engraving denim. Thanks for the interesting video.
I tried lots of settings until it worked. Watch the latest Ortur video on my channel for some improved settings.
This video was extremely well done. Thank you.
Excellent video, Thank you!
