Some silly decorations, though completely pointless, can drastically alter your perception of the machine. Two machines can feel totally different in capability based on the aesthetics even if the guts are identical. This got me wondering […]

Significantly more powerful than diode lasers, K40 lasers can cut wood, leather, […]
