Learn. Test. Create. Sell.
Getting your laser settings right is only part of the job. You also need to position, support and hold the item correctly.
The RTC Systems Laser Setup & Workholding Guide explains how to build a practical setup for flat items, small products and rotary work. It covers the relationship between your baseplate, jig, supports, engraving surface and artwork placement.
This book complements our existing laser settings, starter settings and UV guides. It focuses on the physical setup and workholding side of engraving.
For beginner users of xTool F2 Ultra, it also covers coin engraving, engraving fixtures, risers, artwork positioning, and roller and chuck rotary setups.
What’s covered
- Baseplates, working area, clearance and focus.
- Positioning and securing blanks.
- Risers and material supports.
- Single-item and multi-position jigs.
- Finding, making and checking suitable jigs.
- Practical setups for coins, cards, tags, slate, wood, rings and irregular items.
- Roller and chuck rotary holding, alignment and clearance.
- Rotary software setup and test runs.
- Repeatable batch workflows and troubleshooting.
- Printable checklists and setup record sheets.
Who is it for?
Beginners who want to understand how to hold and position their work, and engravers who want to develop more consistent, repeatable setups.
The xTool F2 Ultra provides the main practical reference. General workholding principles can also help users of other equipment, subject to their machine’s capabilities and manufacturer instructions.
What you receive
A digital PDF guide with illustrated examples and printable reference sheets.

About Rellaw Trading Co
We are a small, family-owned South African business built around a passion for precision, creativity and practical solutions.
Our journey began with a love of laser engraving and precision craftsmanship, creating personalised products and exploring what modern laser technology can achieve across different materials and applications.
As our experience grew, so did our interest in helping other laser users get better results from their machines.
Today, Rellaw Trading Co focuses on laser engraving education, digital tools, workflow systems and practical resources designed for beginners, hobbyists, makers, side-hustles and small laser businesses.
Our digital guides and systems are built around a simple philosophy:
Learn → Test → Adjust → Record → Repeat
Rather than chasing one-size-fits-all settings, we believe laser users should understand their machines, test their materials and develop workflows that produce repeatable results.
Our resources cover areas including laser settings, calibration, engraving workflows, troubleshooting, coin engraving, UV glass and crystal engraving, and laser business opportunities.
We believe good results come from a combination of knowledge, testing and experience.
As a family business, we take pride in providing practical resources, honest information and helpful customer service. Every product we develop is created with the aim of making laser engraving easier to understand, easier to test and easier to turn into something you're proud of.
