Which Laser Materials Are Actually Worth Your Time

Every laser material guide online is made by someone selling that exact material. This one isn't. Grant ranks the materials he actually runs, graded on five things: what you can make, what it sells for, how long it ties up your machine, how hard it is on the machine, and how much of a pain it is to load. 🔹 A full S to F tier list: slate, MDF, cast and extruded acrylic, glass, hardwoods, cork, coated metal, Baltic birch, fabric, and real leather 🔹 Why a one-dollar slate coaster earns S tier despite being the most hands-on material to load 🔹 The exact difference between cast and extruded acrylic and why one wrecks your engraves 🔹 Why Baltic birch is the easiest material on the board to build a business on 🔹 The coated metal tumbler category and why cleanup keeps it out of A tier 🔹 How Thunder Laser USA's own roots in cutting fabric for Stitchin' Heaven shaped this ranking 🔹 Why PVC and fake leather are an F tier safety hazard, not just a bad material 🔹 The one rule Grant is completely serious about before you cut anything Curious what machine fits the materials you want to run?
