For fire extinguishing, I definitely recommend the Halotron-1 extinguishers. They are well worth the expense to save some expensive equipment. Halon fire extinguishers are even more efficient at putting out a fire (than halotron-1), but halon is getting very difficult to find and it is also very expensive. Production and import of halon (to the US and Canada) was stopped in 1994 (because it was apparently found to be ozone-depleting). However, it is still legal to buy and use halon extinguishers (using existing halon supplies of new and recycled gas). Halotron-1 is an extinguishing agent that was developed to be one replacement for halon. Halon is still apparently preferred for aircraft fires, so such an aircraft web site (or Ebay) may be one place to look if you really want halon. I recall that in the 1980s and early 1990s halon fire extinguishers could be ready found and inexpensive to purchase at hardware stores like Home Depot and Lowes. All of that changed after halon production stopped in 1994. I once used a small halon fire extinguisher to put out a serious kitchen stove fire. It was like magic. It immediately starves the fire of oxygen and the fire just goes out. And the best part is that there is absolutely no clean-up (from the extinguisher) required. It wouldn't even contaminate any nearby food on the counter or stove. By contrast, the dry chemical extinguishers put out the fire, but they make an absolute mess of the surrounding area.

Makerflo just updated their site with some great features! One is to be able to mix and match different colors of the same item to create a case discount, and the other is that the multi-case discount applies to cases of different items (i.e. you could get 3 cases of tumblers and two cases of wallets and still get the 5+ case discount).

You are so right about those powder extinguishers. But halon any size is the right way to go even for us Diode laser guys. But a bit spender. Now I understand they have small units for small enclosures check them out.
I've seen a few of your videos in the past few days. I ordered my first machine this morning with the intention of building a new business. I appreciate your info and I subbed for future enlightening content. Thanks.

My grandfather gave me a life lesson. He asked me to make a fist and hold it tight and not open my fist . He then tried to give me a dollar . He then told me to open my tight fist so I can get the dollar. LIFE LESSON - When you are tight fisted and don’t want to give you are also not able to receive. The minute you open you hand and are able give you are also able to receive. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I knew a lot of the info you mentioned however I did pick up a few bits from you. I wish you nothing but the best and I pray that your business will grow beyond your expectations. Again thank you for your channel an see you soon on Laser Everything.

JDS is amazing! You don’t need a tax ID number to sign up for them though. They do ask for one if you sign up on their website but I’ve had an account for over a year now and I’ve never had one. I can’t remember now exactly what I had to do but I believe I just called them and explained I was just starting out so I didn’t have a tax id number and they set me up an account over the phone. I also got $25 to spend on sample packs to try out products when I signed up which was super helpful since I’ve never even seen some of the different types of materials you can engrave on. I don’t know if they still do the $25 offer or if that was a limited time thing but either way it’s a great site with amazing products. If your lucky enough to live near a warehouse you can pick up your orders in person and don’t have to worry about paying for shipping.

Something about Mcmaster Carr that not many know about is they give 3D files of all of their products. Most need just 1 step until until it can be 3d printed
I'm a newbie. Just came across my first laser engraving video a few days ago. Your video is one I will put on the shelf and come back to often. I am excited. At this point I have a lot of research. I do not want to regret my first laser purchase. The Facebook page for Epilog Lasers, I never heard of them until your video. Where do I find a list of brands, how they rank in customer service, reliability, quality and versatility? Do manufactures offer classes that you can attended in person before you buy?

Lots of good questions right there and thanks for watching! Your initial investment for getting started will be a big factor of course. There are a wide range of machines and price ranges, and features on each machine, if you you are just wanting to try laser engraving out and not ready to get an industrial level unit I would look at the S1 40watt by Xtool shrsl.com/4b43x the reason I recommend this unit, is they have been around for a while now, and have a very large following and lots of support groups on FB, as well as decent customer support. If you want to go pro right off the bat, and get started in the Co2 laser world, and money is no object,, then I will always recommend Epilog Laser The Epilog Edge 24 with 60watts is a great unit, and will last you a life time, and get your jobs completed in record time, with superior customer support and a huge following on FB with lots of support groups. I also offer private consultations if you would like to book with me a 1 hr session, Id be happy to speak further with you about all this : ) you can reach out to me michael@laserengraving911.com
