I'm Fascinated with all the possibilities, I would love to learn how to use a laser and the proper programs. Great channel, new sub.

These are the type of instructional videos I've been looking for. I bought a small laser setup just to get familiar with programming and using a laser engraver/cutter. I don't plan on making anything other than practice pieces with it. I'll be ordering a 100W Co2 in two months that I plan on using to add income to my already existing business. I look forward to watching your other videos.

Thank you for sharing your work and the knowledge! I’ll have my granddaughters watch this to show them the possibility of working from home! Thank you again! Social media has great knowledge potential! 😊

You are very interesting. Your understanding of this is impressive and you convey an easy understanding of your work. You have teaching skills that are excellent. Thank you.

thanks Roger for explaining the way things are done, Happy New Year

Love the knowledge you are offering Roger, I'm in the process of purchasing a laser to compliment my wife's cake business here in Melbourne along with managing my steel fabrication company (I'm going to be a busy boy). Along with running CAD at the shop and also looking at CNC PLASMA I reckon the laser will be an easy learning curve. Appreciate the channel mate.

Thank You very much for this very informative tutorial. I am fascinated by this tech. I also Love all your background collection :)

Great video!! Your passion and knowledge is quite evident! I'd love to learn more!

Another excellent video thanks for sharing your wisdom you have a blessed day

A really great and informative video! Great explanation and demo. Thanks so much!

Wish I was your neighbor,love working with wood and metal,retired RV mechanic my self the trouble is I'm 70 now and only scratched the knowledge of using a computer, and I think I could learn a ( butt load ) of knowledge the way you explain this

I must say that is way cool makes me wan to start a small business with a laser cutter and a CNC . Good job thank you so much for your hard work on your videos.

I love that old world craftsmanship!

CNC is actually pretty easy stuff once you get some of the basics out of the way assuming you aren't doing multiple processes on multiple machines where you can easily paint yourself into a corner and no longer be able to hold your work. I don't mean to take anything away from him but rather intend to imply that everyone should give it a shot. The trade needs people who can think on their feet and pay attention badly and many libraries (around me, at least) now have 3d printers available for public use.

I Iove when I see some one who loves his stuff of what ever he is doing. Great chanel! Keep going!

Thank you very much!

Top notch work and video sir! However for most of us Who don't have access to this machinery , the first 15 min of computer work shown can be distilled done to just a couple min !

Found you today and very nicely done. I like this.

Really interesting video, i have a friend who does this and all sorts of other things with CNC's as a personal business but any one will tell you its easy to make money as its time + materials but up-keep and maintenance will cost you more than you expect...but if you consider time it took to learn his art + machines its a long time and big dollars

I was well into the video, before I realized you were to cut recycled forest carbohydrates. I was all amped up for steel ! I really like the manner in which you educate. Many tend to fast talk, or leave out steps, expecting everyone already knows each step well. My primary interest is in an engraving solution for on-the-fly work. So far, fiber laser approach seems to be more of a job-shop type of thing, so device can warm up. Cost per use would need to rival a rotary engraver, and in order to not lose sharp results, a motion table to bring the work to the laser. There are a couple self-contained products of the sort from Red-T, but they are still in the embryonic stage. I fear this stuff will shrink in form factor and become what I need post-retirement! For now, I am stuck at office, doing paperwork..... and I found your video as the result of viewing another laser that was recommended I check out. A nice way to kill some time during this shutdown, even though I am considered "essential".

You are sooo the man 👍. That was ‘spectacular’. 🥳 I thank you so very much Now all i need is my laser (industrial). 🙂

interesting vid. Forgive my ignorance but what material did you cut? I thought it might be thin metal, but then the cutting footage looks like thin wood? Are these lasers a good substitute for a plasma cutter for thin metal materials? Thanks!

I know the approxamate cost of software but what is the initial cost of an Industrial grade 100 watt laser as well as the cost of a replacement for the laser tube? I know of a metalworking shop in the states that has a 4Kw laser and they work with steel up to 1/4" thick. They specialize in automotive parts and accessories.

Great video - THANKS! Maybe I missed it, but what does the laser setup itself (minus software) cost???

Hey Roger, thank you so much for this video. .. I have been working with a lasercutter for some time now (free access to one via a hackerspace, only have to pay for materials).. Question: One thing I dont seem to understand is what if you want to go bigger than the 600x300 space of the laser. How do you cut up the objects? Do I need to design it that way in the design software or is there some support in the laser engraver driver.

@rogerwebb9600

No you need to design it in the software

Very good dear

Could you use a picture editor and turn the picture into a black & white picture then import it in to that program to turn into a vector? would that reduce the amount of colors first?

Hi Rodger, What is the Brand of your laser? I'm in Canada and looking on the net for PTL 6090 a lot of brand are popping up! Thx.

What manufacturer did you choose for your PTL-6090?

Such cool music too !

How can we find out what machines you recommend to set up a shop

What about trotec speedy 300 or 360 120w? Can one make a business with either of them?

Nicely made! But please use a camera with a much higher resolution. 720p is really not enough. And second a last thing: Use a desktop capture software always when you explain and show software settings. Thanks! Greetings from Germany :-)

im interested in getting a laser but I agree it needs to be industrial grade. What is the cost of that 100 watt that you have? At my job we have a 6000 watt but I believe the cost was up around $900,000 and by the time they added the rack system loaders it was nearly $1.4million But it has capability of cutting 2" thick parts

These are great videos. I have a question. The art work or picture that you are using, are they jpegs or do you need to work on them first before saving them to your desk top before dragging them into your artcam? Thanks.

Dump about $10-20k into equipment, a year of training trial and error. THEN either hit the lottery or do the equivalent in chances to compete against the limitless other people trying to find the actual work to fill $21k a week. We have a machine shop that produces contract parts for military and medical, about $750k in big-boy machinery and do not make $21k a week - btw. But then, this is a youTube video on the internet, so it must be true.

Can a lazar cut tempered glass? Can you make it hand held for portability and accessibility?

@pascalh2417

No it can't. You you can cut (thin) acrylic quite well depending on the lasers power.

Over 20 years of experience with 2KW/4KW Lasers I highly doubt people are paying 3k$ a day for something we would do for 300-400$ for each at the cheapest prices around. Great video nonetheless. Confused though as to why your nozzle is so far off the material surface and you're still having reflections (Power is too high, standoff is too high and your feedrate is too slow). Interesting video either way, love the lasers!

He states in the video that a shop similar to his would rate that as a 2 hour job and charge $150 per hour plus materials, so you're in the same ballpark. The $3000 figure is working all day long with no breaks.
