almost any material! - and 1/2" thick (but you gotta remove the crumb tray, and put something under it to get it to the ‘laser’ height - but people have etched glass, engraved wood, steel. there is an AWESOME VIDEO you should watch

Sounds like you should spend some time at https://glowforge.com/ - it answers all your questions!

I’ll recommend https://glowforge.com/materials and https://glowforge.com/tech-specs particularly.

community is urging people not to cut,engrave or score on vinyl.

or anything else that contains PVC and/or chlorine

…and if you even use vinyl/PVC just once or twice, your machine may stop working and it will not be covered by warranty.

OR to give yourself a cool tattoo thru the passthru!
