1. Desktop Engraving
For flat surfaces, place the material directly under the laser unit on the base. Adjust the laser height to 11 cm (4.33 inches) for optimal focus. The included conical protective cover helps filter laser light for safety.
2. Rotary Engraving (Cylinder Mode)
Utilize the versatile electric roller for engraving cylindrical objects like tumblers or pencils. The roller rotates the object, allowing for seamless 360° engraving. This mode is ideal for personalized drinkware or pens.

4. Handheld Engraving
The innovative handle design allows the laser unit to be used handheld for engraving larger or irregularly shaped objects that cannot fit on the stand. This mode provides flexibility for creative projects on various surfaces, such as furniture or large art pieces.
