I asked my boss where he bought the slate coasters from, but it was just ebay.

I need to get a handle on what I can actually do with it. So I purchased a few sublimation items . I have mugs but grabbed a few slates and mouse mats.
The guy I had the laser off dropped lucky on some decent slates for a tenner a box. When he tested them and asked the seller where they got them from, the answer was I got them 15 years ago...lol
Slate coasters are cheapest from Rinkit in my experiance, the cheap amazon and ebay ones are all very varied thicknesses and make any batch work a nightmare.
What software does the atomstack use? if it can use lightburn its worth the investment.
also what cnc did you go for? I have an Ooznest workbee personally

I wonder... Festiniogg ( sp?) slate mine could you ask for a few samples if you pay the P&P to see if they are any good ?
I often see Welsh slate milled /polished /engraved items locally . Some amazing four wine bottle holder lumps of slate partly polished & engraved
Pre covid I knew a guy locally who had a 4x8 CNC bed doing it , he used to borrow a van /truck and go and collect an agreed thick ness of cut slates of all sizes

Yes GRBL lasers from Atomstack can use lightburn.
I have had the CNC for two years and sort of cocked up as I thought it was workbee but it only has belt drive so I think it's an OX.
It only had an arduino nano to run it. But a kind member sent me a UCCNC board.
Still not cut anything yet though...
