In this video I take a look at the EM Smart Basic 1 Fibre Laser and answer the question 'Can a fibre laser engraver really be a useful addition to the home workshop?'
We look at how to use the machine, what it is useful for and we engrave a number of metals including brass, steel and aluminium. We engrave a logo into metal and also make a metric and imperial scale.
