The laser is all 5 stars. It has its own software where you can just open a pic, select a few easy to understand options, set zero on your part, and press go. It can burn on wood, plastic, Stainlees steel, glass, ceramic and leather with impressive accuracy. I found it can also burn through (some brands of) adheisive vinyl without burning the paper backing, making it a vinyl cutter for decals and signage. Bonus!
