Thanks for the valuable information, I’d like to start a small business using one of these laser engravers but still hesitant if it’s profitable as my main source of income, can you share us your thoughts.

It is a 'get rich slow' business. I would start part time with the 20w or the Roly 30/10, and spend a year learning and getting your 'niche'. I have many videos on this subject. Perhaps check out the 10 ways to make money first. :)

great video very informative

I was surprised that the XTool P2 was not on this list. I really enjoy your channel and your Etsy shop. Because of you, I have started learning about leather projects with the laser. My WeCreat Vision is getting a workout. Hopefully a business will come next year. Thanks again!

It was already so long, I can't cover it all. BUT, I would say the P2 is good, but perhaps too expensive compared to the Polar, or ONYX. It also works best in XCS, which is not bad, but when you want to upgrade you will likely want Lightburn.
