Watch for
- Approval is never implied
- Tracking links are activated centrally
- Disclosures must appear near paid links
Current state
No Monport, WeCreat, xTool, OMTech, Glowforge, ComMarker or other laser affiliate link is active in this production baseline. Product links go to legitimate official destinations for verification and buying research.
When a real approved tracking URL is supplied, EtchCompass verifies the program and destination, updates the central merchant mapping, labels the paid link clearly and uses sponsored/nofollow attributes where appropriate.
How rankings stay independent
A product does not need to pay commission to be recommended. Compatibility, hard constraints, evidence quality, support and complete cost drive the decision. The highest commission cannot rescue a failed material or workspace gate.

Primary and authoritative sources
A source link supports the stated fact; it is not an endorsement.
