In this video I will first walk you through the assembly and setup of the Two Trees TTS55 laser cutter and engraver. This is a great beginner or entry level machine due to the cost vs capabilities balance. I will also demonstrate some examples of cutting and engraving and help you get started with this machine using the LaserGRBL software.

As with most of my setup and review videos, I show some of the upgrades and modifications that I design after having used the Two Trees TTS55 for a period of time.

The most effective and important upgrade in this case is the smoke and fume extraction adapter. You can find that adapter on my website here:
