I would like to have a cheap laser engraver/cutter but I am just afraid to buy one. Most kits don't have any protection at all except for some goggles. This might be fine for yourself but not for someone stepping into the room.
Lasers are no joke.
'Don't look into the laser with your remaining eye' is also no joke.
For the small uncovered diode laser cutters, I'd recommend setting it up & running it remotely. If you use a laptop with a webcam & some remote desktop software, you can operate one safely it from a different room.
There are many covered desktop ones that I think are a bit safer though. Ventilation is also a big concern.
