The laser cutter is awesome for making personalized gifts. A simple gift is a personalized bamboo cutting board, engraved using the K40 Laser Cutter. By using a jig to ensure repeatable placement, and separating the toolpath for the Filagree from the Names, it makes it easy to make many gifts with only needing to update the name.
It utilizes a 9"x12" Bamboo Cutting Board, purchased as Walmart for $4.44 each.
