Wedges to keep your pass through material level without holding

[lornealladin]

Hey guys, I made a lot of these wedges to keep pass through material level while cutting or engraving so you don’t have to hold it for however long your procedure might be.

I will have these on sale on my website bcco.shop tomorrow for $2 each. These are poplar wedges that will not damage your Glowforge. I also use these to level other objects as well. Hope I can interest you guys in these. Thank you.
