In today’s video, I’m testing the Atomstack Swift, one of the smallest, cheapest, and most beginner-friendly laser engraving and cutting machines I’ve ever used. Despite its compact and lightweight frame, it still offers a 300 × 300 mm working area and delivers surprisingly impressive performance.

To show what this machine can really do, I’m making several Christmas-themed decorations, including:
🎄 Engraving and cutting 3mm plywood
🎄 Cutting felt ornaments
🎄 Engraving and cutting leather tags
🎄 A high-detail photo engraving test that looks incredible

The machine is simple to set up, extremely compact for small workshops, and genuinely perfect for beginners — especially anyone on a tight budget who wants to start laser engraving and cutting.
